(NAFB.com) – A new national survey commissioned by CropLife America reveals strong trust in American farmers and public recognition of the benefits pesticides provide in making food more affordable and accessible. The poll found that two-thirds of Americans approve of the job American farmers are doing, underscoring their vital role in feeding the nation. An overwhelming majority of voters agree that when farmers use tools like pesticides to control weeds, crop diseases, and insect pests, it leads to greater food choices and lower costs for families. “The poll confirms what America’s farmers have known for generations: the public trusts them and understands that pesticides are an essential tool for growing the food that we rely on,” said CLA President and CEO Alexandra Dunn. “When we protect American crops, we protect American families by keeping grocery store prices down and helping ensure an affordable and abundant supply of fruits, vegetables, and grains.”
