One of the reasons for this is the widespread use of synthetic pesticides and their possible secondary negative effects on valuable carnivores and biodiversity. Therefore, the need for biological and environmentally friendly alternatives to pest control has become relevant. This relevance is also reinforced by the European Union's Green Deal agenda and its underlying strategy - Farm to Fork, which aim to mitigate climate change, prevent biodiversity loss and feed Europeans healthily. This study aims to assess the attitude of the Latvian society, in particular specific stakeholder\ufffds groups playing important role in food systems, towards the achievement of the goals set in the European Union\ufffds Green Deal agenda regarding the reduction of pesticide use and the search for alternative ways of protecting harvests from pests and diseases. There are several important signals arising from the results of this study and timely response to them can help policy makers, scientists, consultants and practitioners to contribute in reaching EU Green Deal goals, to redesigning existing food systems and to promote greater use of safe alternative ways of protecting harvests from pests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5593\/sgem2022\/5.1\/s21.076","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,18]],"date-time":"2023-02-18T11:59:41Z","timestamp":1676721581000},"page":"607-614","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["HOW READY ARE SOCIETY FOR EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL: CASE STUDY FROM LATVIA?"],"prefix":"10.5593","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Dina","family":"Popluga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies","place":["Latvia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gunta","family":"Grinberga-Zalite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies","place":["Latvia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3602","reference":[{"key":"ref=1","unstructured":"[1] Prahl A., Hofmann E., European Climate Policy - History and State of Play, Climate Policy Info Hub, 14 November 2014.
