List of Details Subject matter Detail Agriculture Control of Richardson Ground Squirrels with regard to research and control methods, including the use of Strychnine Agriculture Federal fertilizer emission reduction targets: SARM is concerned with the impact this will have on the agricultural sector. Agriculture Fertilizer reduction – focus on an absolute emissions reduction, rather than an intensity-based target, is misplaced and will likely cause severe economic harm & more emissions can be reduced through increased uptake of the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program while improving the competitiveness and profit of farmers Health Pesticide regulations: strongly support maintaining a science based and evidence based approach to pesticide management. The regulation of pesticides needs to consider the importance of food security.
