CSFS Associate and LFS associate professor Dr. Risa Sargent is calling on the federal government to change regulations and reduce the use of harmful pesticides.
“Neonicotinoids, which are still allowed and are being used in Canada, are negatively impacting bees and other ecosystem players that are important for agricultural production,” Sargent explained.
