WHAT WE DO
HOW WE WORK
This approach helps ensure broad consensus on recommended measures (BMPs) by considering local aspects from the start, and delivers a range of risk reduction methodologies which can be used in a toolbox approach.
WHAT WE EXPECT TO ACHIEVE
- Develop Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce the risk of pesticies (PPPs - Plant Protection Products) entering water in Europe.
- Develop information and tools for risk diagnosis and provide materials to be used for presentations and training courses to support dissemination of BMPs.
- Dissemination of BMPs through trainings and demonstrations, workshops and presentations for farmers, advisers and stakeholders
HOW WE WORK
- TOPPS – projects are multi-stakeholder projects (open for input and contributions from all stakeholders)
- TOPPS – projects work together with local partner organisations in countries in which the project is active
- TOPPS – project teams provide complementary skills ranging from science to farm advice

WHAT WE EXPECT TO ACHIEVE
- Create increasing awareness of the need to protect water from PPP contamination, while simultaneously providing practical information on how it can be done
- Inform operators and stakeholders about the correct use of PPPs and how to improve equipment and infrastructure
- Increase acceptance of the need to implement risk reduction measures
