“Save bees and farmers” demand a million citizens – O’Sullivan

More than one million EU citizens are calling for laws to phase out damaging pesticides and to help create bee-friendly farming.

The European Parliament today debated a European Citizens’ Initiative called “save bees and farmers, towards a bee-friendly agriculture for a healthy environment.”

The initiative, that gathered more than a million verified signatures, calls for synthetic pesticides to be phased out by 2035 along with the restoration of biodiversity. And it demands support to farmers in the transition to more bee-friendly and environmentally safer farming practices. Green Party MEP Grace O’Sullivan explains.
