Pesticides Management
Background
Pesticides management involves the regulation, production, application, and disposal of chemical and biological agents used to control pests that can harm crops. This encompasses a range of substances aimed at mitigating insects, weeds, fungi, rodents, and other pests that might reduce agricultural yields or quality.
Pesticides management intersects with the areas of food security, economic vitality, health, and environmental stewardship. Voters may consider policies concerning the regulation of pesticide use, support for research into alternative pest control methods, guidelines on worker safety, and measures to ensure food safety in relation to pesticide residues.
