Presentation 1: The Minor Use Foundation: building global partnerships and leveraging crop protection technologies for the cultivation and supply of specialty crops
Speaker: Dr. Adriana Castañeda Consultant Minor Use Foundation
Abstract: The Minor Use Foundation, a non profit organization was created in 2019 as a result of the STDF projects implemented in Asia, Africa and Latin America, aimed to increase capacity in pesticide residues in the region. The foundation started working with governments and researchers on chemical pesticides data generation, but has migrated towards working with biological solutions as well. Some of the current projects will be shown during this session.
Presentation 2: Global Cooperation in the Authorization of Biopesticides
Speaker: Dr. Imme Gerke, Government and Industry Advisor, Canada
Abstract: The differences in the use of crop protection products have created massive trade barriers that we can only overcome jointly. Therefore, between 2000-2017. the chemical industry has cooperated with regulators on 5 continents to jointly approve 55 chemicals. The same path is available to the approval of biologicals. Farmers, processors and traders cooperate in product selection. Regulators cooperate in data review, risk assessments and product approvals (OECD). What is missing is the biopesticide industry that develops, manufactures and sells biopesticides. I want to encourage you in seeking product approvals through Joint Reviews
