Transforming the evaluation of agrochemicals

open access: yesPest Management Science, 2022
AbstractThe present agrochemical safety evaluation paradigm is long‐standing and anchored in well‐established testing and evaluation procedures. However, it does not meet the present‐day challenges of rapidly growing populations, food insecurity, and pressures from climate change.
