FEATURED PARTNER

Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) combines science and community-led campaigns to advance the global elimination of hazardous pesticides. It promotes solutions that protect the health of communities and the environment, support local and global food security and encourage agricultural biodiversity.

PANNA is one of five regional centers of Pesticide Action Network International, comprised of more than 700 organizations in 90 countries launched in 1982. PAN's regional centers work autonomously and in concert to advance environmental justice, sustainable agriculture and food sovereignty.

One of PANNA's projects "Drift Catcher" provides an air monitoring device to community organizations who want to document their pesticide exposure for campaigns to stop drift. Click here for descriptions of recent projects.

To learn more about the Pesticide Action Network North America, contact Managing Director Steve Scholl-Buckwald at steveatpan[at]panna.org or call (415) 981-1771.
