Managing pesticides in agriculture and public health : a compendium of FAO and WHO guidelines and other resources Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This second edition of the compendium provides a brief description of all the technical guidance documents, manuals, toolkits, databases and other resources for pesticide management developed by FAO and WHO.

These resources support the standards outlined in the International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management by providing detailed information and guidance on how to manage pesticides at the different stages of their life cycle, i.e. from production to disposal of waste.The resources are principally intended for use by governments in low- and middle-income countries but they may also be useful to other stakeholders.

The resources cover both agricultural and public health uses of pesticides.

The documents listed in this compendium have been prepared, reviewed and adopted by FAO and WHO expert groups including, since 2007, the FAO/ WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM).

The compendium will be updated regularly in the future.

Older documents included in the compendium are still considered valid as the issues they address have not changed
