Pesticides and Environment

Pesticides are a big business. They are meant to be toxic. Estimates suggest that every year at least three million people are subjected to acute poisoning. The hazards of pesticide use are now widely recognized and many have been banned. Yet several remain in active use and many of those banned continue to persist. Everyday new, and far more toxic, chemicals are approved for use in crops meant for human consumption. Following films give a glimpse into how people all over the world are moving towards a reduction, and an eventual phase-out, in use of dangerous chemicals so that the food we eat is completely free from poisons.
