MINOR USE FOUNDATION

The Minor Use Foundation (MUF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the goals to refine and implement processes for generating global, regional or national residue data to establish Codex Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) (and/or other national MRLs). This will be achieved via collaborative data generation projects, through engagement with global stakeholders including specialty crop growers, grower groups, governments, universities, non-profit and for-profit organizations. The MUF will establish research priorities and coordinate and educate stakeholders, policy makers, legislators and the public on the value and need of technology for minor uses in specialty crops and solicit support necessary to conduct programs. In addition, the Foundation will sponsor the Global Minor Use Summit meetings, facilitate the Global Minor Use Priority Setting meetings, and coordinate with partners to ensure that data generation, JMPR submissions, and CODEX MRL activities are optimized. The MUF works very closely..
