The Pesticide Risk Reduction Program highlights priorities for pest management, including biological controls, natural products, and low-risk minor use pesticides. This program reflects the goals of the APF (Agricultural Policy Framework) - to position Canada as the world leader in environmentally responsible production while improving air, water, and soil quality, and conserving biodiversity. The Pesticide Risk Reduction Program will help reduce the risks to the environment from pesticides uses in agriculture, contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment, and result in safer food for consumers by focussing on: developing and implementing strategies to reduce pesticide risks: conducting research into improving methods for pest control; developing alternative approaches to pest management, such as integrated pest management, biological control methods, and bio-pesticides; and increasing the adoption of reduced-risk technologies by producers. 1, record 7, English, - Pesticide%20Risk%20Reduction%20Program

Le Programme de réduction des risques liés aux pesticides met l'accent sur les priorités pour la lutte antiparasitaire, notamment le recours à des contrôles biologiques, à des produits naturels et à des pesticides à usage limité à faible risque. Ce programme cadre avec l'objectif du CSA(Cadre stratégique pour l'agriculture), qui est de faire du Canada le chef de file mondial en matière de production respectueuse de l'environnement, tout en améliorant la qualité de l'air, de l'eau et du sol, et en conservant la biodiversité. Le Programme de réduction des risques liés aux pesticides aidera à réduire les risques que présente pour l'environnement l'utilisation des pesticides en agriculture, contribuera à assurer un environnement plus propre et plus sain, et favorisera la production d’aliments plus salubres pour les consommateurs. Le programme met l'accent sur les objectifs suivants : élaborer et mettre en oeuvre des stratégies visant la réduction des risques liés aux pesticides, mener des recherches visant l'amélioration des méthodes de lutte antiparasitaire, élaborer d’autres méthodes de lutte dirigée, notamment la lutte antiparasitaire intégrée, les méthodes de contrôle biologique et les biopesticides; accroître chez les producteurs l'adoption de technologies à risques réduits. 1, record 7, French, - Programme%20de%20r%C3%A9duction%20des%20risques%20li%C3%A9s%20aux%20pesticides

The Agricultural Environmental Stewardship Initiative (AESI) is a three-year (2000-2003) $10 million program provided for by the Canadian Adaptation and Rural Development (CARD) fund that was renewed in 1999. The AESI emphasizes projects that address the regional impacts of agricultural practices on water, soil, and air quality, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative addresses these issues through education and awareness, technology transfer, and stewardship tools including environmental clubs, environmental management systems, and land use planning. It will not support infrastructure such as manure storage facilities. The AESI is national in scope, but regionally sensitive, and delivered through provincial and territorial adaptation councils. 1, record 9, English, - Agricultural%20Environmental%20Stewardship%20Initiative

L'Initiative de gestion agroenvironnementale(IGA) est un programme triennal(2000-2003) doté d’un budget de 10 millions de dollars. Cette initiative est offerte au titre du Fonds canadien d’adaptation et de développement rural(FCADR), lequel a été renouvelé en 1999. L'IGA est axée sur les projets visant à étudier les conséquences régionales des pratiques agricoles sur la qualité de l'eau, du sol et de l'air, la biodiversité et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Elle permet d’aborder ces questions par l'éducation et la sensibilisation, le transfert technologique, et des outils de saine gestion comme des groupes environnementalistes, des systèmes de gestion de l'environnement et la planification de l'utilisation des terres. Elle ne vise pas les infrastructures comme les installations de stockage du fumier. Quoique l'IGA aie une portée nationale, elle tient compte des particularités régionales, et est exécutée par l'intermédiaire des conseils d’adaptation provinciaux et territoriaux. 1, record 9, French, - Initiative%20de%20gestion%20agroenvironnementale
