In Ontario, our farmers use many strategies to support the growth of our crops while being environmentally conscious. Pesticides are a vital tool that can be used to safely manage pests that can be harmful to the health and quality of a farmer’s crop. These products are strategically used to minimize risk to beneficial species and allow for a biodiverse and robust ecological system that functions more efficiently to provide Canadians with a sustainable and secure food system.
