Ban UK exports of pesticides that are banned on UK farms.
It has been reported that in 2023 the UK exported pesticides containing 8,489 tonnes of active ingredients that are banned from use on UK farms because of the risks they pose to human health and wildlife.
We want these exports stopped.
Many pesticides are banned in UK because of the dangers they pose to human health and biodiversity. These dangers are as serious abroad as they are in the UK. We believe that allowing them to be exported, meaning that companies producing them in the UK can profit from legislation that may be weaker elsewhere, is hypocritical, callous, and ultimately poses a threat to our own well-being.
