In Switzerland, we're soon going to vote on two initiatives ¹² aiming at reducing pesticide use.
The first is essentially about forbidding the use of all artificial pesticides by 2031 (also importation of food that was produced abroad using pesticides).
The second is about removing subsidies to farmers that use any kind of pesticide, or regularly use antibiotics on their livestock, etc.
I feel like they are quite drastic initiatives, but it's good to at least have a desire for change.
I'm interested in any opinion from knowledgeable people on the subject!
