Food Quality Protection Act/Strategic Agricultural Initiative: EPA Region 1 Pesticide Program is seeking proposals from eligible organizations that will reduce the exposure to toxic pesticides through the adoption of farm pest management practices that transition away from the use of high-risk pesticides. The in-field adoption by farmers of already identified potential low-risk integrated crop or pest management tools and strategies is a priority. The project will work towards achieving the adoption of reduced-risk alternatives and /or ecologically-based IPM or biologically integrated farming approaches that are economical and have positive impacts on soil health and water quality. The project should engage scientists, farmers, commodity organizations/groups, industry, and local, state and federal partners.
