FOOTPRINT :: creating tools for pesticide risk assessment and management in Europe

A project coordinated by:

> Home > The 3 FOOT tools > FOOT-NES

Introducing FOOT-NES

FOOT-NES (NES: National and European Scales) is mainly targeted at EU and member states policy- and decision-makers, and pesticide registration authorities.

The tools will either use meta-models or real time models depending on the application under consideration while the classification of the European agricultural land according to the dominant transfer pathways will be undertaken using the IDPR approach.

The objectives of the FOOT-NES tool are:

1) to identify those large areas which are most at risk of pesticide contamination; and,

2) assess the probability of pesticide concentrations exceeding legal or ecotoxicologically-based thresholds at the member state and EU levels.

FOOT-NES will be developed as an ArcGIS add-on and will include an automated parameterisation system to support higher-tier modelling applications within the context of pesticide registration.
