A pesticide risk reduction strategy is a statement of risk reduction goals, and a detailed plan to achieving these goals to reduce risks to the environment associated with pesticide use in a specific crop pest management priority. Pesticide Risk Reduction strategy coordinators at the Pest Management Centre work with stakeholders to develop and implement pesticide risk reduction strategies, and then report on progress and outcomes of these strategies.
