Pesticides and our health

Pesticides and our health – Greenpeace report – May 2015

There is evidence of links between pesticide exposure and different types of cancer, as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

There is no alternative: the only option to reduce health risks from pesticides is to fundamentally rethink and shift our farming systems from industrial agriculture, which relies heavily on chemicals, toward ecological farming.
