Based on the requirements set by the SUD, the minimization of ppps impact or “footprint” is the main prerequisite for the continuation of their use. In the present session, approaches based on scientific evidence and studies, aiming at the safeguarding of the quality of natural and occupational environment will be presented. Furthermore, the influence of training and public awareness on the environmental safety and the potential gaps in knowledge will be addressed. The ultimate goal of the session is to bridge the “knowledge and practice” for the benefit of safety for humans, environment and agricultural income.
