PFAS in plant protection products are not of concern

De stelligheid waarmee @IngeGhijs betoogt dat de boeren dwalen als ze blij zijn met het versoepelen van de voorwaarden die Europa oplegt m.b.t. pesticides vind ik vreemd. Haar argumenten ook. Draadje dus. https://t.co/2n64PAaMS4 1/

Yesterday Maarten Moermans @GroeneKring spoke at the opening of the @Bayer4Crops exhibition “Innovations for a sustainable agriculture” Farmers can and want to be part of the solution but need support, perspective and innovative tools to make it happen. Well done Maarten!

Already 2 full days without rain 🙃. Harvesting last field of Sugar beets!

The answer is not always 42. Asking the right question is key to finding the right answer. #toxic #carcinogenic

Don’t just thank a farmer, pray for a farmer

We can combine #FoodSecurity and address #ClimateChange and #BiodiversityLoss if we grow more food with less inputs on less land. Part of an holistic approach. https://t.co/eQC5ctsiWE

This is more than triple the increase in productivity recorded in the last decade.  We need an holistic approach @Bayer4CropsEU #ForwardFarming OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook - OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook

OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook : Average agricultural productivity must increase by 28% over the next decade for the world to meet SDG 2 on Zero Hunger, while simultaneously keeping ag emissions on track to reach the Paris Agreement targets.

Er bestaan gelukkig ook nog genuanceerde visies… 'Voedsel is geen wegwerpproduct, het is niet slecht dat mensen dat nu beseffen'

In tegenstelling, gentech zoals CRISPR zou wel degelijk kunnen bijdragen aan meer genetische diversiteit in gewassen. Een draadje. 🧵/1

Prof Kathy Steppe and @Bayer4Crops started the project MicroScan, to investigate how leaf sensors allow a reliable prediction of favorable micrometeorological conditions on the leave to maximize the activity of #biocontrol agents @FbwUGent

Goed initiatief! Kan voor beide “kanten” nuttige inzichten geven en begrip creëren. #dialoog #Respect @GroeneKring
