The California People and Pesticides Explorer is a one-of-a-kind tool that makes it easier to view, map, and download California’s pesticide use report data, and serves as a resource for scientists, growers, advocates, and the general public. This interactive data tool links pesticide use data with community demographic data and makes data available at common census geographies, from townships to zip codes and counties.

Partners

Californians for Pesticide Reform, Pesticide Action Network North America, and the Open Spatial Lab partnered with the DSI and Data Science Clinic students on the explorer.
