The list is intended to update the criteria for prohibited pesticides in the Sustainable Agriculture Standard.
Mrs. Stone taught her 3rd grade class a lesson about shapes found around the school. She had the students go out in small groups and use a digital camera to take pictures of different shapes they observed. The students enjoyed this active learning activity and were able to use the camera with no instruction. Mrs. Stone used the pictures taken to create a class book identifying the various shapes. The digital camera helped engage the students and focus their search, and allowed Mrs. Stone to create additional learning materials without requiring the students to draw pictures by hand.

This memorandum summarizes the reassessment of two exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for the inert ingredient dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPGME). DPGME is used as a stabilizer in pesticide formulations applied to crops and as a surfactant in pesticide formulations applied to animals. Based on its low toxicity, rapid biodegradation, and low exposure potential, the EPA determined there is reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to DPGME. The memorandum recommends maintaining the two exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for DPGME.

STOCKHOLM Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.pdfPrajwal Gowda M.A
The Stockholm Convention is an international environmental treaty signed in 2001 that aims to eliminate or restrict persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which are toxic chemicals that persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms. It initially targeted "the dirty dozen" worst POPs and has since added over two dozen more. India is a signatory and works to promote alternatives to POPs and implement measures to reduce their presence and impacts on human and environmental health. However, challenges remain due to the scope and pace of adding chemicals, implementation difficulties, and unintended consequences of some alternatives. The convention emphasizes international cooperation to address this global issue but continues to face obstacles from non-parties and varying country capacities.

SAN Prohibited Pesticide List April 2009 2
3. Sustainable Agriculture Network - Prohibited Pesticide List (April 2009)
The Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) is a coalition of independent non-profit conservation organizations that
promote the social and environmental sustainability of agricultural activities by developing standards. A Certification Body
certifies farms that comply with SAN’s standards. Each inspection body - authorized by a Certification Body - provides
audit services for farmers and agricultural companies in their respective countries. SAN members also offer their
knowledge and experience in working towards the development of the Sustainable Agriculture Standard. Rainforest
Alliance currently holds the Secretariat for the Sustainable Agriculture Network and coordinates the development and
review of standards and related policies for the SAN. Rainforest Alliance also administers the Rainforest Alliance
Certified™ trademark.
The Sustainable Agriculture Standard (version April 2009, Sustainable Agriculture Network) prohibits
the use of several pesticides on Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms determined by international lists
of reference. If use of these pesticides on Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms is detected during
audits, this consequently leads to the cancelling of Rainforest Alliance Certified™ certification as
defined by SAN’s Farm Certification Policy (version April 2009).
This SAN standards and policy document is binding for Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farm
certification. It updates sources for critical criterion 8.4. It also provides a complete list of pesticides
currently prohibited or to be phased out on Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms.
The wording of criterion 8.4 (version April 2009, Sustainable Agriculture Standard) is:
8.4 Critical Criterion. The following chemical or biological substances cannot be used on certified
farms:
a. Biological or organic substances that are not legally registered in the country for commercial
use.
b. Agrochemicals that are not registered officially in the country.
c. Agrochemicals that are mentioned in the List of Banned and Severely Restricted Pesticides in
the U.S. by its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or pesticides banned or severely
restricted in the European Union.
d. Substances that have been banned globally under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent
Organic Pollutants (POPs).
e. Substances listed in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention on Prior Informed Consent
(PIC), in relation to national bans or severe restrictions for documented health or
environmental reasons in at least two regions of the World.
f. All Pesticide Action Network Dirty Dozen substances.

The following table lists 98 active ingredients and the respective sources based on critical criterion 8.4
of the Sustainable Agriculture Standard. The SAN regulatory status is referenced in the last column on
the right. Since the publication of the November 2005 SAN standard and additional criteria, 84 of these
substances have not been permitted to be used on Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms (Referenced
as: Prohibited since November 2005).
SAN’s International Standards Committee decided during its meeting in May 2008 to update some of
the reference lists for criterion 8.4. The main reference list for pesticides prohibited by the European
Commission is based on Directive 91/414/EEC reflected in Regulation (EC) of the European
Parliament and of the Council No. 689/2008 – more specifically Annex’ I Parts 2 and 31. Pesticides
included in Annex’ I Part 1 - but not listed in Annex’ I Parts 2 and 3 - are not mentioned in this
document. Industrial Chemicals do not form part of this list either. This has led to an addition of 14
new substances in the following table in comparison with the first version of the list. Rainforest
Alliance Certified™ farms have to phase-out the use of these 14 substances within the next three years,
meaning that their use is not permitted after June 30, 2011 (Referenced as: 3-year phase-out (limit
