Practices
Risks
The off-target risks of current pesticide use and our emphasis on preventing off-target effects.
Stakeholders
The cost analysis for current small molecule pesticides.
Current Problems
The issues with current pest control methods including small molecule pesticides, crop care and other pest control methods.
Public Outreach
During our project we spoke with a Fusarium research scientist, an organic farmer, and an agricultural innovator/reserach scientist about our project and what they do.
We also collaborated with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada to discuss the potential ethical implication of our project.
