Abstract

The article discusses the need for reforms in pesticide regulatory practices to protect pollinators. It clarifies that the focus of the article is on global pesticide regulations, with a specific emphasis on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States. The authors suggest that the US should adopt the evaluation of plant protection products as formulations, similar to the European Union. They also highlight the importance of post-approval monitoring and testing the effects of pesticides on diverse pollinator species. The article calls for a broad conversation and cooperation among stakeholders to protect pollinators. [Extracted from the article]
