Description
The
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) aims to align pesticide
registration systems and maximum residue limit (MRL)standard setting across Asia, Africa, and Latin America,
and to do so based on U.S. regulatory systems and international standard setting
bodies. This program aims to support both bilateral and regional
approaches to strengthen and align pesticide regulatory systems with those of
the United States and international standard setting bodies by engaging in four
categories, including 1) Registrations, 2) Standards (i.e., MRLs), 3)
Compliance, and 4) Research. To accomplish this, this project will need to
develop a cadre of technical and regulatory experts to conduct strategy
development, create action plans, lead workshops, discussions and other
engagements with foreign partners, provide education and extension in regulatory
sciences to foreign agricultural specialists, conduct pesticide-focused
research, and support the creation of domestic and international residue
standards.
