UK National Action Plan on Pesticides Aims for Sustainable Use

The UK governments have introduced the National Action Plan (NAP) on Pesticides to reduce potential environmental harm from pesticides by 10% by 2030. This initiative follows the ban on neonic pesticides and emphasizes sustainable pest management to protect human health and the ecosystem. It calls for farmers to adopt nature-friendly practices and provides a framework for monitoring pesticide use. The UK government has also committed £150 million via the Farming Innovation Programme to advance agricultural research and innovation.
