EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler has announced a $2-million initiative that encourages smart and sustainable pest control in agriculture. The initiative is an extension of EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program and expects to award recipients up to $200,000 to implement sustainable pest management practices that align with the agency’s goal of providing a healthier environment for all Americans.
Funding will go to projects that explore innovative practices, technologies, education, and non-regulatory solutions that promote the adoption of integrated pest management strategies.
A Request for Applications will be issued this month and applicants will have 45 days to submit their applications.
