EU roadmap 2025-2030 sustainable agriculture and plant protection

The future of sustainable agriculture and plant protection in the EU should be built on adapting to farms’ realities, targeted research, and accelerating the adoption of biocontrol and other innovative plant protection tools. The goal is to enhance farmers’ toolboxes by ensuring effective, sustainable pest control solutions are readily available. Achieving this will require clear regulatory frameworks, efficient approval processes, robust training, and targeted financial support.
This document outlines key priorities and actions that will enable biocontrol plant protection products (PPPs) to be better integrated into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in all
agricultural systems in the coming 5 years, offering farmers more sustainable and effective crop protection options.
