There s disagreement over whether a controversial European Union agricultural proposal, known as the Farm to Fork initiative and part of a larger Green Deal, would be a good thing. But speakers in a recent webinar on the subject generally agreed that more time and information is needed to fully evaluate its impact. The Green Deal itself covers many sectors (of the European economy) directly, and literally every sector indirectly. This requires a huge policy review and overhaul across many areas of European legislation, a lengthy, complicated process, said Alan Hardacre, director of public affairs for CropLife Europe, which represents Europe s crop industry.
