Pesticide-free agriculture is profitable and boosts yields, a new French study shows. This 10-year study, led by France’s national agronomic and environment research institute INRAE, analysed nine farming systems across various regions of France. https://t.co/HytRh8vufH

🪲 Meet the dung beetle 🌿
These little legends can push 50x their own weight; that’s like a human dragging an adult African elephant! 🐘 By rolling and burying dung, they fertilise the soil, reduce pests, and keep ecosystems clean. #SaveOurInsects

We need better implementation of the pesticide laws. The most toxic of these pesticides should have been banned years ago.

1/5 🍏
We analysed #pesticide residues in apples in 13 European countries. The result: conventional apples are contaminated with a cocktail of pesticides (85%). It shows that the current pesticide authorisation needs to be improved, not demolished.

Major victory 🥳Today, the Court of Justice #CJEU of the EU concluded that the @EU_Commission acted unlawfully by re-approving toxic insecticide cypermethrin in 2021, with major gaps in the reapproval dossier https://t.co/2SJJ0Ukcr7

🌱 The EU has banned the #PFAS #pesticide flufenacet because it’s harmful to human health and contaminates groundwater. Yet, it will continue to be used on Europe’s crop fields for up to 18 months, according to the official EU decision.

💧 Doubt is their product. We analysed how major chemical companies have systematically cast doubt on the toxicity of #TFA. The result: it is now Europe’s most widespread persistent pollutant.

Wow! Current EU pesticide authorisation does NOT properly protect health and environment. Decision to allow #beekiller cypermethrin overruled by EU Court of Justice. Great work by the PAN Europe team!

The @EU_Commission confirms its plan for open-ended approvals of certain #pesticides, ignoring scientists and society. It's a weak move in the wrong direction. We need real steps out of the toxic era towards a productive, healthy and biodiverse future https://t.co/FahGMrGaES

@EuropePAN @EU_Commission Listen to independent science!

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

A coalition of leading scientists calls on the @EU_Commission to improve the protection of the environment, biodiversity and citizens' health against harmful #pesticides. They ask the Commission to drop the idea of weakening the pesticide regulation.

1/7 🚨🌾🧵
Everyday cereal products across Europe contain high levels of the forever chemical #TFA, our new PAN Europe study reveals. #TFA is an ultra-short #PFAS and a breakdown product of other PFAS, including PFAS #pesticides.

🐝 A new study from the German Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) uncovers something troubling: even very small amounts of commonly used #pesticides can significantly change how bees and fish behave.

On this World Pesticide Day, we launch a campaign for better protection against dangerous #pesticides. No deregulation, but better implementation. Towards a toxic pesticide-free age.

Better enforcement of the pesticide regulation instead of 'simplification'. Raise your voice now with this easy tool.

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

🚨🚜 Only one week left to raise our voice against the weakening of food safety rules 🐝🌿
Tell the @EU_Commission that you want better protection of health and biodiversity. This tool makes it easy to react to the EU consultation: https://t.co/v4L7bLGW8m

Interesting and worrying results from the #PoshBee study. Watch or read.

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

We interviewed co-author @JessKnapp24 from @lunduniversity in Sweden. She delivers important input in the discussion on a new EU guideline to protect organisms that should not be harmed by #pesticides.

Pesticides harm and kill our insects: we need better protection NOW!

1/3 🧵🐞
A 2025 meta-analysis of 1,705 studies confirms that #pesticides are widely toxic to many non-target organisms.

High time to stop TFA emissions. It is toxic to reproduction and should not be in our water at all!

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

💧📢 With 30 organisations we call for the protection of Europe’s citizens and water resources from the growing threat of trifluoroacetic acid (#TFA). This highly mobile, persistent and toxic #PFAS #pesticide is a threat to the environment.

Excellent news. All EU Member States should do the same.

[PAN Europe @EuropePAN]

🧑‍⚖️🌿In a landmark decision, the Paris Court of Appeal has held the French State accountable for ecological harm resulting from outdated and inadequate #pesticide risk assessments.

Bee killing and brain damaging Acetamiprid is banned in France, but the rest of the EU is lagging behind. Read more in the free monthly newsletter from Pesticide Action Network PAN Europe.

📨 Our September Newsletter is out! 🌿
We took the first legal step to urge the EU Commission to act on #PFAS #pesticides. Denmark made a good first step by banning 23 PFAS pesticide products. And much more!
