Description[?]:
| Members of the Presidium, The argicultural sector is an important sector in Lodamun, as it provides our nation with safe and healthy foods. To futher protect this my Ministry proposes the following. 1. Allow local governments to determine when a farm is too large. Currently we have the same rules for the entire nation. The Ministry thinks it is important that local governments have a larger say in this, as some parts of our country larger farms pose less of a problem, while in other parts the current nation wide standard is still too large. 2. Chemicals pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are currently forbidden to be used. We want to lift this ban as some diseases, fungi or pests are better treated with chemicals. We of course want safe use of chemicals and therefor we propose that the government regulates the use of these chemicals. Zhong Lynn Minister of Food and Argiculture (LLP) |
