FIFRA Hot Topic Issues — A Conversation with Jim Aidala

This week, I was excited to sit down with Jim Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant at B&C and its consulting affiliate, The Acta Group, to discuss FIFRA hot topics. For those of us who work in the complicated and ever-changing area of agricultural and biocidal products, federal and state regulation of ag products is often hard to understand and to monitor. Jim knows this space better than anyone, having worked on the Hill, led EPA's toxics office, and now serving the private sector. We discuss tip-of-the-spear issues in 2024, including what to expect in pesticides when electing (2024 general elections and ag policy), the Endangered Species Act and the regulation of ag chemicals, Pesticide Registration Improve Act 5 (PRIA 5) issues, new policies relating to "free of" claims, and the regulation of pesticide devices. It's a lot of real estate, but we enjoyed the ride. ALL MATERIALS IN THIS PODCAST ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.
