Pretag deliverables
At the end of the iniative, the following deliverables will have been achieved or initiated:
- A quantified dataset on changes in pesticide use (including herbicides) in the tropics, overall and by crop.
- An analysis of the potential for reduced pesticide use, by activating different technical options based on agroecological approaches and an analysis of the economic and financial conditions to activate those options.
- Characterization of the main barriers/obstacles to reduction, and levers actionable through collective action, stakeholder organizations, or standards and regulations at public policy level.
- For the different crop value chains, characterization of a road map and innovation trajectory (technical and partnerships) for pesticide reduction use,
- Support from multi-stakeholder consortia or platforms for reduced pesticide use in both long export supply chains involving actors downstream based in Europe, and short supply chains in markets at the global South.
- Identification of the future research needs to continue the process beyond the project period
- A global advocacy building fuelled by data from the project to raise awareness from stakeholders and donors
