Guidance on UEBT Standard Principle 2: Minimising the use of agrochemicals

 
 

Principle 2 of the UEBT Standard promotes sustainable use of biodiversity. One important aspect of this is minimising the use of synthetic agrochemicals and the negative impact derived from their use in cultivation and wild collection areas. Criterion 2.4 in the standard focuses on these practices.

This factsheet gives guidance on how to minimise the use of agrochemicals, including concrete tips and examples for companies and their suppliers for compliance with UEBT requirements on the use of agrochemicals.

It is part of a series of technical guidance documents, meant to support the implementation of key issues of the UEBT standard. It was developed with the support of the BioTrade facilitation programme, UNCTAD.  UEBT and UNCTAD acknowledge the financial contribution of the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO).
