Annual Product Stewardship Day event promotes responsible use and demonstrates sustainable agriculture through crop protection product stewardship to business partners, local communities and stakeholders. The annual event, which was originally launched by Dow AgroSciences, has grown to include Product Stewardship Day activities across Asia.  The Product Stewardship Day event features activities specially designed to foster good stewardship practices. Customers, farmers, distributors and industry stakeholders are engaged through interactive presentations on the importance of committing to responsible use and the proper handling of crop protection products through each stage of a product's life cycle. Participants are also provided detailed health and environmental information on products, given technical assistance related to product usage, and the appropriate steps to take when mitigating risks to human health and the environment. A total of 117 events with more than 11,400 participants were held in 2013. Three CropLife National Associations (Vietnam, China and India) organized Product Stewardship Day events with all member companies from their respective countries participating in 2013.
