Highly Hazardous Pesticides
The PAN International List of Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) criteria include acute toxicity, long term health effects, environmental hazards and status under global pesticide-related conventions.
Resources
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.
POPs Pesticides
Persistent organic pollutants, or “POPs,” are chemicals that persist in the environment for years – sometimes decades.
