BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

U.K.: Ban on pesticides could cost food supply chain $4 billion per year, report says

October 23, 2014 Reprints

A report published by The Andersons Centre has said that the present European Union policy of banning some pesticides could cut into the U.K. agricultural industry's profits, Farmers Guardian reports.

The food supply chain could experience economic losses of around £2.5 billion ($4 billion) each year once the policy is implemented in the U.K., the report said. The policy would result in about 87 currently approved pesticides being banned, said the report.
