@CropLifeUK's Dave Bench told #BCPCcongress that post brexit vacuum in plant protection product regulatory policy has resulted in decreased trade, increased cost & burdens, little use of regulatory autonomy, decreased regulatory performance, & fewer new products @BCPC1

Today at the @BCPC1 conference, Agricultural Economist Séan Rickard shared his thoughts on why we need a rethink on policy when it comes to food production - especially in the face of Agricultures Trilemma.

Corteva’s Will Corrigan, and board member of @CropLifeUK, congratulates CropLife UK for its growth to 33 members and spoke about the benefits of being a member. It provides an informed network committed to innovation & solutions to providing healthy, safe & affordable food.

[CropLife UK @CropLifeUK]

We welcome the PM’s attendance at today’s Food Summit, let us hope he keeps in mind these wide-ranging factors. Government and industry need to work together to ensure affordable, safe, and nutritious food for everyone.

#FarmToForkSummit

[CropLife UK @CropLifeUK]

Keeping food prices down is complicated. Government must also recognise the value of food security, the high standards of UK production, the additional burden of Brexit, and the added cost of protecting our natural environment.

Happy International Women’s Day

The agriculture sector in the past has been known to be male dominated, however we are proud to see it changing. Women are leading changes in regulation, policy, research&vital areas.
Wendy Gray, has been in the sector for 19 years, shares advice.

The Windsor Framework as a great step forward in resolving pressures on trade routes to the NI market.
However there is room for interpretation. We hope to have clarity over this as the role of crop protection solutions in food must not be overlooked.
