You’re invited to join us for a webinar exploring health risks related to pesticide residues in food and introducing ORG-Tracker, a powerful new analytical tool for advancing food safety and organic integrity.

Featured Speakers:
Dr. Charles Benbrook and Dr. Brian Baker

About the Webinar
ORG-Tracker fills a critical gap in ongoing efforts to protect public health by allowing certifiers, the National Organic Program, researchers, and organic farmers and food companies compare and contrast pesticide residues and associated risks in organic and conventional foods across global supply chains.

Built upon Heartland Health Research Alliance’s (HHRA) Dietary Risk Index (DRI), ORG-Tracker is an interactive analytical system designed to track pesticide residues and relative risk levels across crops, regions, and time. Through a rigorous commitment to data quality, risk assessment science, and transparency, ORG-Tracker helps identify, evaluate, and reduce public health risks arising from pesticide residues in food. To reduce risks, we must first know where they lurk.

Explore the ORG-Tracker website here. The presentation will focus on the interactive tables accessible here.
