Stop Pesticide Poisonings! A time travel through international pesticide policies

The third updated and extended edition of the popular PAN Germany publication "Stop Pesticide Poisonings - A time travel through international pesticide policies" is now available.
It takes the reader on a quick journey through the years since pesticide poisonings in developing countries first came to international attention. It highlights the global efforts to solve pesticide-related problems, and looks behind the statements and statistics of dangerous pesticide use and poisonings in developing countries. The key message of Stop Pesticide Poisonings is that "safe use of highly hazardous pesticides" is not possible, especially in developing countries. It suggests the urgent need for a progressive ban of highly hazardous pesticides, while phasing in sustainable, ecosystem-based plant production systems.
