| Watching the Watchers
OVERVIEW / MISSION Reason for being:“This network challenges the global proliferation of pesticides, defends basic rights to health and environmental quality, and works to ensure the transition to a just and viable society.” BACKGROUND “A remarkable consensus is growing that diverse, stable and incredibly productive landscapes are essential to ensuring the survival of our planet. A mounting global food crisis and the instability that climate change poses to life on earth have galvanized support for farming alternatives that offer the resilience necessary to sustain both people and ecosystems. This year, we stand atop a watershed of planetary dimensions. Industrial, chemically dependent farming has sown a ‘perfect storm’ of hunger, social and environmental calamity. Oligopoly control of food, farming and marketing by a handful of global companies subverts our freedoms, undermines our farmers and robs us of the ability to protect our health and environment.” With that statement as their lead philosophy, PAN usually takes an aggressive stand against the excessive use of chemicals and pesticides, publicizing “dangers” and organizing actions through news releases, newsletters, magazines, and partnering with other advocates who possess similar “green” positions.
