Message | Mr. Speaker, The use of chemical pesticide represent only a fraction of our agriculture system. There are many very succesfull farm that can be very productive without using any Chemical pesticides. We sincerely believe, that we the used of new technologies and GM crops, we can ban chemical pesticides without hurting significantly our agriculture sector. However, what does hurt our agriculture sector, is the lack of trust that people have in it. When people get ill because of all the chemical pesticides there is in their food, that certainly does not make them want to eat more hutorian food. -Gwen Stacey Minister of Food and Agriculture |
