| Message | Banning the use of synthetic pesticides would not necessarily decrease the productivity of our agriculture system. Quite the opposite- studies have shown that the over-application of these chemicals contaminate soil and pollute waterways, potentially leading to soil erosion, reduction of nutrients vital to crop development and vulnerability of species to disease, all of which massively destabilise agricultural systems. With the regulated use of natural pesticides, herbicides and fungicides we can ensure the sustainability and reliability of Beluzia's agricultural sector and potentially also stimulate economic growth and trade in procuring and manufacturing these natural products. I sincerely hope that, in light of this information, you will reconsider your position. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
