Although the global pandemic kept everyone locked up in their home offices last year, growers and producers still had the vital task of feeding a hungry population. While the virus heeded no international boundaries, growers and other stakeholders along the global food chain needed support to tackle the complex topic of maximum residue limits (MRLs) to facilitate the trade of food within countries and across borders. The Consumer Safety Project Team of Crop Life International identified the need to reach growers and other stakeholders virtually. Training materials for virtual capacity building and e-learning were developed for a broad global audience including grower associations, industry, agriculture trainers, regulators, and food safety consultants. The CLI training course is divided into modules covering a variety of topics associated with MRLs. The modules are released as videos and are narrated by experts within the Crop Life community. Many of the modules include questions and quizzes to encourage audience participation and engagement.  We know that virtual training videos will never fully substitute for person-to-person support, but in these uncertain times, CLI hopes that these modules will benefit the community of food producers in even the most remote parts of our globe that may not have other opportunities for inclusion.
