  18th September 2020

The Countryside and Community Research Institute is a partner in the newly launched SPRINT project, to help evaluate the impact of pesticides on human health and the environment.

SPRINT – Sustainable Plant Protection Transition: A Global Health Approach – brings together a consortium of research institutes and SMEs from 11 European countries, alongside colleagues in Argentina, and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.

SPRINT will collect and interpret knowledge and data from across Europe to find ways to improve the sustainable use of pesticides around the world. Working with farmers and policymakers, researchers will find ways to support a transition to more sustainable plant protection.
