Are there any programs in progress to train farmers on handling pesticides?

The crop protection industry is involved in many programmes, at a national and EU level, to train farmers and to continuously improve the use of plant protection products. ECPA has initiated a number of products on safe use, and is currently working with the European Commission to develop strategies to reduce potential for pesticides entering surface water (point source contamination).
