Moscow, December 26, 2024 (TV BRICS) – Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has officially sanctioned Law 15.070/2024, establishing a comprehensive framework for the use of bio-inputs in agriculture and aquaculture. This is reported by Toda Palavra, a partner of TV BRICS.
Bio-inputs, as defined by the new law, are biological-origin materials or processes utilised in the production, processing, or storage of agricultural, aquatic, or forestry products.
These inputs play a crucial role in promoting healthier growth, pest control, and disease management while offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical-based inputs.
The law governs the entire lifecycle of bio-inputs, encompassing their production, import, export, registration, commercialisation, use, inspection, and regulation.
It also addresses related areas such as research, packaging, advertising, transport, storage, waste disposal, and incentives for bio-input development.
With this move, Brazil aims to set a global benchmark for sustainable agricultural innovation.
