WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

During this webinar participants will learn how a pesticide makes it from the lab to the label in Canada. It will provide a look at how a pesticide goes from being discovered in the lab to becoming a registered product for use in Canada. It will explain what type of scientific data is required to support the registration of a pesticide, how that data is generated and the steps in the regulatory approval process. In addition, attendees will learn about the differences and similarities between synthetic pesticides and organic pesticides, how limits for pesticides residues on food are set, and the processes that are in place to ensure all food, no matter how it’s grown, is equally safe and nutritious.
 
Moderator: Alison Duncan, PhD, RD, FDC (University of Guelph)
