EPA Region 1 Pesticide Program is seeking applications from eligible organizations that will facilitate the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). The program supports efforts to reduce the exposure to toxic pesticides through the adoption of production agriculture pest management practices that transition away from the use of high-risk pesticides in minor crops. Total program funding is $100,000, with two awards expected. EPA Region 1 serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
