According to the Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council – the directive establishes a framework for achieving the sustainable use of pesticides by reducing the risks and impacts of pesticide use on human health and the environment and by promoting integrated pest management and the use of alternative approaches or techniques, such as non-chemical alternatives for pesticides. Also, the European Commission's plan calls for a 50% reduction in pesticide use over the next decade. The plan would also reduce the sale of antimicrobials to farm animals by 50% and the use of fertilizers by 20% by 2030. By 2030, the share of organic farming will also increase by 25% from the current 8%.
