SPRINT have just published a new summary factsheet, which provides a digestible overview of our recent paper: The Role of Public Consultations in Decision-making on Future Agricultural Pesticide use: Insights from the European Union’s Farm to Fork strategy consultation. Read the factsheet by clicking here, and the full peer-reviewed paper by clicking here.
A new factsheet from SPRINT summarises the key findings from Peter Fantke and team's project report considering the life-cycle sustainability of pesticides, looking beyond the direct effects their active ingredients have when applied to fields. The impacts of resource extraction, manufacturing, application, and waste management of pesticides and their packaging were assessed, and the results compared against alternative approaches to plant protection.
Dr Vera Silva of the SPRINT project recently presented at an event hosted by Pesticide Action Network Europe (PAN Europe) and the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), 'Rooting for healthy soils in Europe'. She presented some of our soil-related findings before participating in a panel discussion. Download the slides here.
Striking findings from Irene Navarro and her team on pesticide concentrations in indoor dust collected from rural households have been taken from the original paper and made into an accessible new summary factsheet.

We have produced a new summary factsheet based on a new paper led by our PhD researcher, Dennis Knuth, entitled 'Pesticide residues in organic and conventional agricultural soils across Europe: measured and predicted concentrations'.
