EU pesticide bans 'could hit UK crops'

The EU's decision to ban the use of some pesticides could threaten UK crops, increase food prices and hit farmers' profits, a report has claimed.
It said this could lead to a surge in pests, affecting production of apples, carrots and peas, among other crops.
The ongoing use of pesticides kills e.g. bees, what in turn lowers production too and has a much bigger impact on nature in general.
