FAS expands and maintains access to foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products by removing trade barriers and enforcing U.S. rights under existing trade agreements. FAS works with foreign governments, international organizations, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to establish international standards and rules to improve accountability and predictability for agricultural trade. 
IR-4 Project

IR-4 works directly with crop growers, registrants of crop protection products and other members of the specialty crop community to develop data required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the registration of pest management tools for specialty crops. IR-4 also supports the registration of minor or specialty uses on major crops. 

The Minor Use Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit private foundation founded in 2018 to promote minor uses and specialty crop pest management solutions for growers globally. We work to break down agricultural trade barriers resulting from misaligned residue tolerances.
