CCE-PSEP partners with the following New York State agencies and other organizations to promote proper pesticide use and to serve as a resource on pesticide use, safety, and regulations:
The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program (NYSIPM) develops sustainable ways to manage pests and helps people to use methods that minimize environmental, health, and economic risks. Within NYSIPM, the Community IPM Program focuses on managing pests in non-agricultural settings such as homes and other buildings, lawns and landscapes, golf courses, and natural settings while the School IPM Program focuses on managing pests in schools and daycare settings.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Bureau of Pesticides enforces pesticide regulations such as applicator certification, business registration, product registration and sales, and proper use.
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets oversees such areas as food safety, invasive species management, and agricultural production.
The Pollinator Network @ Cornell works to understand wild and managed pollinators and is committed to promoting healthy pollinator populations and a sustainable beekeeping industry.
The Institute for Food Safety at Cornell University (IFS@CU) provides training and conducts applied research to support the food industry in reducing foodborne illness risks from farm to fork.
The Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases (NEVBD) focuses on applied research projects, professional training programs, and the sharing and creation of resources on mosquitoes, ticks, and the diseases they carry in our region.
