The EIP is a tool that maps the environmental impact of crop protection in an integrated, transparent and objective way. It helps growers make better-informed choices about the use of plant protection products and their active substances, application techniques and measures, and minimise their overall environmental impact. At the same time, the indicator can be used to increase transparency.
A first test version of the MIG is now available. The EICP is currently in its testing and validation phase and will be further developed over the coming year. Schuttelaar & Partners served as project lead and secretary to the steering committee for the development of the EICP. This exists of a partnership between Greenports Nederland, BO Akkerbouw, LTO Nederland, IDH Trade, Glastuinbouw Nederland, Royal FloraHolland en GroentenFruit Huis, supported by Rabobank and innovation.
