SUMMARY:Pesticides\, Pollinators\, People and Planet: What We Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Neonicotinoids have caught the attention of the public\, but they are part of the larger issues with pesticides. For many decades\, we have been on the “pesticide treadmill\,” with each new pesticide promoted as better and safer\, until we identify the risks to human health and the environment\, and then\, ultimately\, the target pests become resistant.  Dr. Kimberly Stoner explains why information about pesticide use in our state should be available to the public\, so that researchers\, policy makers\, and concerned citizens can make informed decisions to protect human health and the environment. \nPresenter bio: \nDr. Stoner is the CT NOFA Director of Advocacy\, and adjunct professor at Western CT State University\, teaching a course on Public Policy for Biodiversity. She is also a member of the Pollinator Advisory Committee at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. The group promotes and protects pollinator health and biodiversity in Connecticut by advising on policies and practices that support pollinator populations\, facilitate research and education related to pollinator conservation\, and collaborates with stakeholders\, including farmers\, researchers\, and conservationists. \nThis program is made possible by the Friends of Cheshire Public Library\, the Coalition for a Sustainable Cheshire and the Cheshire Pollinator Pathway.
