Evidence use for sustainable pesticide risk reduction. Policymakers, stakeholders, and value chain actors influence scientific evidence production regarding pesticide use, exposure, and effects [1]. Actors’ uncertainty perceptions, beliefs, and interests shape evidence uptake [2]. Power relations modulate evidence’s influence on pesticide-related policy and practice decisions characterized by the trade-offs between objectives [3]. Implementing more or less evidence-informed decisions produces sustainability outcomes [4] whose evaluation provides feedback for new evidence production [5]. Evidence use has a transformative impact when facilitating the selection of pathways into a safe and just operating space.
