Pollinator Stewardship Council

The mission of the Pollinator Stewardship Council, Inc. is to defend managed and native pollinators vital to a sustainable and affordable food supply from the adverse impacts of pesticides.

As pollination is required for one-third of the nation’s food supply, we strive to accomplish our mission through the following activities:

• Affect regulatory processes of pesticide risk assessment, label, and enforcement.
• Provide advocacy, guidance and tools to document the detrimental effect of pesticides on pollinators.
• Raise awareness about the adverse impact of pesticides on pollinators critical to the supply of food and the ecosystem.

Pollinators are an important part of the agricultural and other ecosystems that should be protected from harm caused by pesticide use.  Coexistence of farming with pollinators is key to the survival of a vibrant agricultural economy.

Our work is guided by the belief that pesticides should be regulated by US EPA in a way that prevents harm to managed and native pollinators, by ensuring that pesticide labels effectively prevent poisonings, pesticide applicators are well-informed and trained in pest control methods that prevent pollinator poisoning incidents, and State Lead Agencies take full responsibility for their enforcement duties.
