California Dept Pesticide Regulation

I visited the California Department of Pesticide Regulation in Sacramento today. They are the best in the world....Balancing food production, environmental issues and community and worker health is a big job as California is a unique place. It provides America with half of its fruit and vegetables but is a large urban population. It is interesting that Agriculture gets all the blame for pesticide use however more than HALF of the products regulated by DPR are for commercial, industrial and home use.

  1. You are still visiting some of the best spray technology as you have done all over the world. It amazes me that Europe and America are at the forfront of developement in this field that still hasn't reached Australia. Good luck with your last week of such a fantastic tour. GG
