The report suggests combating the dangerous effects of pesticides through sustainable farming. thenewledenews
Synthetic pesticides are, in essence, petrochemicals, and the fossil fuel industry and pesticides are inextricably linked, according to Asha Sharma, organizing co-director for PANNA in California and an author of the report.
As climate change intensifies under agriculture’s pesticide dependence, the report suggests dependence on pesticides today will amplify pesticide use in the future. With rising temperatures, crops become less resilient and more vulnerable to pests, which will grow increasingly prevalent in some agricultural regions, including the US Midwest.
The researchers concluded that both oil and gas companies and pesticide manufacturers also promote what they consider flawed solutions to the climate crisis. Another industry-supported solution, carbon markets, allows agribusinesses to sell carbon credits corporations to offset greenhouse gas emissions. The report says carbon markets have “a poor track record in terms of long-term climate mitigation” and only perpetuate the world’s reliance on fossil fuels.Instead of turning to high-tech solutions, the PANNA report suggests tackling pesticides’ detrimental effects on human health and the environment through sustainable farming, or agroecology.
