Valent's Commitment to Pesticide Stewardship
Valent U.S.A. works with pesticide users in every sector where we live, work, play, or farm, to enhance effective pesticide use, reduce risk, educate others, and support implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Valent is committed to promoting effective stewardship in and beyond the field and believes that the appropriate management and use of our products help underpin sustainable agriculture and safeguard the environment and public health. Through targeted projects, education, and outreach, and in a spirit of collaboration with stakeholders, we strive to foster a culture of stewardship throughout the industry.
As part of our commitment, Valent actively engages with pesticide users, educators, and related organizations that engage in reducing potential risks associated with pesticide use. Several organizations Valent supports include:
