European agriculture is pesticide-intensive, relying on the use of numerous hazardous pesticides that can damage both human health and the environment. Pesticides in our food, water, and air can increase the risk of health problems such as cancer and infertility, harm children’s healthy development and disrupt our hormonal systems.
HEAL works with health groups, civil society organisations, and decision-makers to ensure the use of harmful pesticides becomes a thing of the past.
