Investing In Change: Reducing Pesticide Risks for People and the Environment
Manage episode 489673098 series 3386341
Pesticides remain a central tool in global agriculture, used by both large companies and smallholder farmers to protect crops and ensure food production. Yet the widespread use of certain chemicals, especially those classified as Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs), raises serious concerns about their long-term impact on human health, ecosystems, and water systems.
In this episode, we explore how the investment community can contribute to addressing these challenges through clear standards, responsible financing, and support for transition strategies. We discuss how pesticides are currently categorized by international bodies, where those classifications fall short, and what it means for investors.
