Keeping Our Food Safe

Our crop protection products meet or exceed regulatory standards all over the world

In all the countries we serve, Corteva is dedicated to meeting or exceeding the stringent safety standards and rigorous regulatory processes applicable to our products. Our innovations undergo rigorous approval processes, and ongoing re-approval, by regulatory bodies all over the world, including Europe, Canada, Australia and others.

Because pesticides interact with our environment and support our global food chain, they are highly regulated, with individual countries maintaining their own rigorous approval standards.

  • In the U.S., companies must generate rigorous scientific data to understand the identity, composition, potential adverse effects and environmental fate of each pesticide. This typically requires us to carry out more than 150 safety studies, with methodologies verified and approved by the EPA.
  • In the European Union, the pesticide approval process requires peer review by experts from all member states and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). 

And these processes are only the beginning. Even when approved, safety monitoring of products continues, and unintended effects must be reported to regulators. The U.S. EPA, for example, follows a rigorous review process to confirm the safety of pesticide products—a process called registration review—that is repeated at least every 15 years. This process ensures reapproval considers the latest scientific data and meets current standards for safe use.

For each pesticide it reviews, the U.S. EPA evaluates hundreds of different scientific studies during the registration and re-registration process, relying on the best science available and placing high value on transparency in decision-making. During the process, the U.S. EPA may request studies and data from manufacturers, third parties and the public, and takes findings and questions to independent expert panels such as the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel and the National Academy of Sciences.

The Corteva Predictive Safety Center

Companies like ours rely on predictable and science-based regulation as we bring innovations to market—which can take an average of 12 years. The Corteva Predictive Safety Center enables the purposeful design of sustainable crop protection products by providing safety and sustainability insights from the earliest stages of product design and development. The center is closely integrated with our discovery project teams, accelerating the characterization and selection of new molecules that benefit farmers and that have the most favorable environmental profiles.

Pasture and Land Management

Pasture management products can change the productivity of land for meat and milk production by increasing and sustaining forage production. On treated pastures, producers can graze more cattle on the same amount of land.

Managing vegetation along critical infrastructure is essential to growth and for public safety. We help vegetation managers take an integrated approach to stewarding the land.
