GE Crops & Seeds
Most of the genetically engineered (GE) crops planted worldwide are designed for use with chemical herbicides, contain insecticides — or both.
Industrial Agriculture
Industrial agriculture treats the farm as a factory, with “inputs” (pesticides, fertilizers) and “outputs” (crops).
Pesticide Industry Influence
Pesticide corporations and their trade associations wield tremendous influence on policymakers, both in the United States and on the international stage.
Global Pesticide Trade
Millions of barrels of pesticides travel the global marketplace, and then re-circulate as residue on food and fiber. Tackling this “circle of poison” has galvanized PAN activists around the globe since the network’s early days.
Pesticide Drift
When pesticides are applied, they can move through the air to nearby homes, schools and farms — and many pesticides can be harmful to health or neighboring crops. This type of drift — when a pesticide application misses its target — is called spray drift.
