What are the 4 components of regenerative farming?

U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits.
What does the ctgb do?
The task of the Dutch Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products and Biocides (Ctgb) is to assess whether plant protection products and biocidal products are safe for humans, animals and the environment before these products can be sold and used in the Netherlands.
Are biocides reviewed by the ctgb?
Europe agrees to first Union authorisations of biocides reviewed by the Ctgb. Since 30 May, the first authorisations of biocidal product families have been granted for the whole of the European Union.
Where can I find the ctgb public authorisation report?
In this way, everyone can see the studies on which the Ctgb based its decision to grant an authorisation and the considerations that played a role in this process. For third parties the database information is available as a webservice / API (Application Program Interface). You can also download the public authorisation report as an Excel file.
