Valent’s Commitment to Pesticide Stewardship
Valent U.S.A. works with pesticide users across agriculture, professional, and public sectors. Together, we support effective pesticide use, reduce risk and promote Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Valent is committed to strong stewardship practices both in and beyond the field. We believe that proper product use supports sustainable agriculture while protecting the environment and public health.
Through education, outreach and collaboration, Valent partners with stakeholders to strengthen stewardship efforts across the industry. In addition, we actively engage with pesticide users, educators and organizations focused on reducing risks associated with pesticide use.
Valent supports several key organizations that advance pesticide stewardship:
The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance (TPSA)
The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance (TPSA) brings together federal, state and local agencies, as well as research institutions, private companies and individuals. The organization serves as a forum for collaboration and knowledge sharing across all areas of pesticide stewardship.
Pollinator Partnership
Pollinator Partnership works with governments, businesses and universities to protect pollinators across North America. Their mission focuses on conservation, education and research.
In particular, their National Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) connects researchers, conservationists and policymakers. As a result, the program helps raise awareness and supports the health of pollinators and ecosystems.
American Association of Pesticide Safety Educators (AAPSE)
The American Association of Pesticide Safety Educators (AAPSE) includes members from government, academia and industry. The organization provides a platform for collaboration, advocacy and professional development.
Its goal is to advance pesticide safety education and certification programs. Ultimately, this work helps protect human health and the environment.
Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC)
Ag Container Recycling Council (ACRC) is an industry-funded nonprofit organization that collects and recycles agricultural product containers.
Thousands of farmers and applicators participate in these free programs each year. In addition, ACRC is fully supported by member companies involved in the production and distribution of crop protection products.
Partnering for Sustainable Agriculture
Valent supports many additional stewardship initiatives across the industry. These partnerships help advance sustainable agriculture and responsible pesticide use.
