answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>“Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a Green Brexit” consulted on how public money for public goods can be at the heart of our new agriculture policy.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation has now closed and we are analysing responses. The environment is an essential public good and the Government is clear that it is right to minimise the use of pesticides and to make the greatest possible use of other techniques, including non-chemical alternatives, to protect crops.</p><p> </p><p>That is why the 25 year environment plan – “A Green Future” – included a firm commitment to putting Integrated Pest Management at the heart of our approach to support sustainable crop protection with the minimum use of pesticides. We can do more with improved crop husbandry, the use of natural predators and plant breeding to ensure resilience to pests and diseases. This will enable reduced and more targeted use of pesticides.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 18/06/2018 12:07:09 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
