"Today, the Commission adopted pioneering proposals to restore damaged
ecosystems and bring nature back across Europe, from agricultural land and
seas, to forests and urban environments. The Commission also proposes to reduce
the use and risk of chemical pesticides by 50% by 2030. These are the flagship
legislative proposals to follow the Biodiversity and Farm to Fork Strategies,
and will help ensure the resilience and security of food supply in the EU and
across the world.
The proposal for a Nature Restoration Law is a key step in avoiding ecosystem
collapse and preventing the worst impacts of climate change and biodiversity
loss. Restoring EU wetlands, rivers, forests, grasslands, marine ecosystems,
urban environments and the species they host is a crucial and cost-effective
investment: into our food security, climate resilience, health, and well-being.
In the same vein, the new rules on chemical pesticides will reduce the
environmental footprint of the EU's food system, protect the health and
well-being of citizens and agricultural workers, and help mitigate the economic
losses that we are already incurring due to declining soil health and
pesticide-induced pollinator loss."
