French PM Gabriel Attal announced on Wednesday that France was renouncing Nodu, the indicator previously used to measure the reduction in the use of pesticides. NGOs believe that this indicator does not sufficiently discriminate between pesticides according to their levels of danger.

“This decision clearly goes against history,” lamented Thomas Uthayakumar, director of advocacy for the Foundation for Nature and Man. For Future Generations, we are witnessing a “coup de force” by the government to “put in place a totally misleading indicator”
