Agricultural activity in the canton of Vaud has traditionally been strongly oriented towards productivity, economic profitability and a high production quality especially for special crops.
In densely populated areas, tensions with the public can occur regarding the use of plant protection products near residential areas. Within the framework of the National Action Plan for reducing risks from using plant protection products, the federal authorities propose various measures to minimise the risks.
With its scientific and practical knowledge and its visions, FiBL supports various actors in the canton of Vaud in implementing an effective cantonal action plan.
