Pesticides, Agriculture & Environment (French Edition): Reducing the Use of Pesticides & Limiting Their Impacts

French agriculture is one of the largest consumers of pesticides in Europe. In response to growing concerns about their environmental impacts and their effects on human health, their use is increasingly being questioned.

Regulations are being strengthened, limiting the number of authorized phytosanitary products and modifying agricultural practices. The ministries responsible for Agriculture and the Environment have entrusted Inra and Cemagref with the task of analyzing the available knowledge and evaluating the conditions of pesticide use in agriculture.

In this work, researchers provide a detailed overview of:

• The impacts of pesticides on the environment and biodiversity.
• Risks to human health related to exposure to phytosanitary products.
• Alternatives and solutions to reduce their use while maintaining effective agricultural production.
• The evolution of regulations and its implications for farmers and industry stakeholders.

This book is aimed at farmers, agricultural professionals, researchers, as well as anyone interested in understanding the challenges related to reducing pesticides. Thanks to its scientific and rigorous approach, it is an essential tool for supporting transitions towards more sustainable agriculture that respects the environment.
