On April 8, DPR will host a workshop to provide an overview of our work to characterize pesticide risk and develop mitigation in a public and accountable way.

Time: 9:00 – 10:30 a.m.

The workshop will showcase DPR’s proposed pesticide prioritization process – a data-driven, transparent, and coordinated approach to identify and prioritize risks posed to human health and the environment by pesticide use. DPR will also provide an overview of a scientific advisory committee for pesticide prioritization, sharing the proposed composition and structure for an engaged, public-facing committee.
