CropLife Canada's stewardshipfirst(TM) initiatives responsibly manage the health, safety and environmental sustainability of the industry’s products throughout their life cycle from research and development through commercialization to the final removal of the product from the market. The proper management of plant biotechnology products is a key step in ensuring the sustainability and viability of Canadian agriculture. By responsibly managing each stage in the product commercialization lifecycle, the industry is making a strong commitment to ensure the sustainability and viability of Canadian agriculture.

Lifecycle stewardship starts with discovery, research and development through commercialization, marketing, and distribution and ends with product removal, recycling and disposal.
