France: New French Pesticide Buffer Zone Regulation Angers French Farmers and NGOs

After months of debate, in December 2019 France announced required no-pesticide buffer zones between treated crops and inhabited areas. This zoning angers French farmers who see their livelihood threatened and NGOs who feel the new regulations do not go far enough. The policy will likely further erode the competitiveness of French agriculture and widen the divide between French farmers and rural-non-farmers and urban consumers.
