1 Acties van Phytofar in het kader van de reductieplannen Marc Sneyders KVIV Studiedag 06 april 2011

2 Less use of crop protection products = More sustainability

3 Pesticides This is what most people think about first

4 Negative image of CPP s Cause cancers with farmers and consumers Residues in food Kill wildlife Destruction of water life Reduce biodiversity Kill bees Cause ADHD, Alzheimer, Parkinson,..

5 Negative image of CPP s Only 1 in 40 articles in the media is giving a balanced view (source: CropLife) Journalists are only in 6% of their stories giving adequate information on nutrition and food safety (source: International Food Information Council) Pesticiden in 8 op 10 stukken fruit 19/03/10 Het Nieuwsblad "Pesticiden tasten vruchtbaarheid mannen aan" 23/02/11 Het Laatste Nieuws

6 Negative image of CPP s 72% of EU consumers is worried about cpp residues in vegetables and fruit (meaning that cpp s are higher listed than antibiotics, hormones, dioxines, bacteria, virus,...) (source: EFSA, food survey 2010) 44% of EU consumers is convinced that EU authorities are not doing enough efforts to protect our health against CPP residues (source: EFSA, food survey 2010)

7 PESTICIDES EQUAL CANCER!!!

8 Excessive caloric intake has been called the most striking carcinogen in rodent carcinogenicity studies In our quest to reduce our cancer risk by manipulating our diet, we should focus on dietary inbalances in what we eat, not on trace chemicals (Source: American Council on Science and Health, 2002)

9 The quarter of the population eating the fewest fruits and vegetables has double the cancer risks for most types of cancer than the quarter eating the most (Source: Ames & Gold, 1997)

10 Reducing synthetic crop protection products makes fruit and vegetables more expensive, thereby decreasing consumption, therefore the cancer rate will increase, especially for the poor (Source: Ames & Gold, 1997)

11 99.99 % Exposure to pesticides comes from ingesting natural pesticides produced by plants Source: Ames, B N. 2003; An enthusiasm for Metabolism, J. Biol. Cehm, 287(7): )

12 It s all about perception! 1000 chemicals in coffee - 28 are tested - 19 are carcinogenic

13 PESTICIDES DAMAGE THE ENVIRONMENT

14 DDT?

15 Less use of crop protection products = More sustainability

17 Sustainability 3 Dimensions Economy Society Ecology

18 Economy Increase yield Improve farmer revenue Higher quality production

19 - 38% Without herbicides - 30% - 27% - 48% - 36%

20 Without Fungicides

21 Ecology Safeguard natural habitats Lower resource consumption

22 Safeguarding natural habitats

23 Safeguarding natural habitats

24 Safeguarding natural habitats

25 Safeguarding natural habitats

26 Safeguarding natural habitats

27 Society High quality and affordable food Reduce exposure to naturally produced mycotoxins Reduce hard labour

28 A person with enough food may have many problems. A person with no food only has one. Byzantine proverb

29 Hazard >< Risk

30 Hazardous risks or risky hazards? Source: P&G

31 Risk = hazard x exposure Hazard Risk Exposure

32 Reducing hazard component Hazard Risk Exposure

33 Strictly regulated Regulation (EC) 1107/2009 Approval of CPP s on the market Directive 2000/60/EC Water policy Directive 2006/118/EC Protection of groundwater Directive 98/3/EC Quality of water intended for human consumption Directive 2009/128/EC Sustainable use of CPP s Directive 2004/35/CE Environmental liability Regulation (EC) 1185/2009 Statistics on CPP s Regulation (EC) 396/2005 Maximum residue levels of CPP s in or on food and feed Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 Product classification, labelling and packaging Hazard Risk Exposure

34 Reducing hazard component Industry continuously innovates CPP s with ever lower hazard characteristics 9.8 years to come to the market 1 / molecules lead to a successful product launch Research & development cost for 1 successful molecule: 256 $ million

35 % of sales R&D in our industry 15 R&D investment as percent of sales by sector Pharmaceuticals CP, Seeds, Biotech IT Electronic & Electrical Chemicals Aerospace & Defence Automobile Engineering & Machinery Telecoms Beverages Food Construction & Building Electricity Oil

37 Risk = hazard x exposure Hazard Risk Exposure

38 Reducing exposure component Hazard Risk Exposure

39 Reducing Exposure Technical measures Packaging E.g. better pouring and rinsing features E.g. close transfer systems Application technology Spraying equipment eg anti-drift, automatic rinsing, continuous circulation, Personal protection equipment Local application eg seed treatment GPS, field mapping, Training & information
