This paper discusses the issues facing the pesticide industry in the future. The use of pesticides must continue if the growing world population is to be fed but necessary changes must be made if we are able to achieve the levels of sustainable agriculture essential for survival. Pesticides which cause unacceptable environmental damage or threaten health will be withdrawn. Biotechnology and environmentally friendly chemicals will help eliminate weeds, insects and crop diseases.
