Protecting People and the Environment

Pest management is critical to support the health and resiliency of our food supply and agricultural sector and to protect public health, the environment and our infrastructure. At DPR we protect people and the environment through our regulation of pesticides and by fostering sustainable pest management. Our vision is pest management that is safe, effective, and sustainable for all Californians and our environment.
