* Exposes the massive hidden health and environmental costs of
rampant pesticide use* Presents an array of cheaper, safer
alternatives to pesticides used by millions of farmers around the
world* Written by leading international agricultural and biological
scientists supported by The Global Integrated Pest Management
Facility of the FAOSince the 1960s the world's population has more
than doubled and agricultural production per person has increased
by a third, largely because of widespread pesticide use. Yet this
growth in production has masked enormous hidden costs -- massive
ecological damage and high incidences of farmer poisoning and
chronic health effects. Yet in recent years millions of farmers in
communities around the world have been identifying harmful
pesticides and developing cheaper and safer alternatives. "The
Pesticide Detox" explores the potential for the phasing-out of
hazardous pesticides and the phasing-in of cost-effective
alternatives already available on the market. This book makes clear
that it is time to start the pesticide detox and to move towards a
more sustainable agriculture.
