Hello and welcome back to the EURACTIV Agrifood Podcast! This week we discuss the very first approvals of the Common Agricultural Policy national strategic plans, and we give you a run down of a particularly fiery debate over pesticides in the European Parliament. We also hear from EURACTIV’s very own Yaroslava Bukhta about what has been happening in Ukrainian agriculture in August, and we welcome Mi Young Kwon of the Korean cultural centre to discuss a special Korean festival for our flavour of the week.
