France’s ban on ‘forever chemicals’ comes into force today. Here’s what will change. www.euronews.com/green/2026...

Problems with a 25-year-old landmark paper on the safety of Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, have led to calls for the E.P.A. to reassess the widely used chemical. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/...

This blog is a roundup of policy updates specific to our state-based work in California. www.panna.org/news/californ...

The principles of agroecology help cultivate rich biodiverse soil while conventional, high-input monoculture forms of agriculture are notorious for stripping the soil of life and nutrients. And biodiverse soil is better at capturing carbon, meaning it can help us stop climate chaos. #climatechange

While the amount of acres of soybeans and corn has remained stable for the past 25 years, the use of pesticides in Illinois has doubled. The state’s oldest trees are getting sick from the drift.   investigatemidwest.org/2026...

Unused urban spaces disparaged by the powerful as “wastelands” were, in reality, areas where working-class and poor communities used gardening to build self-sustaining livelihoods. civileats.com/2026/01/07/ho...

Environmental stressors (food scarcity, heat) combined with pesticide exposure create effects 70x more destructive than pesticides alone, yet regulators ignore this lethal synergy. www.newstarget.com/2026-01-...

Some of Trump’s assaults on air and water are reversible. Not these two. thehill.com/opinion/energy-...

What if the future we want to see is accelerating at a much faster rate; it’s just not adequately recognized by our markets and power structures? www.panna.org/news/certifie...

EPA must re-assess glyphosate risks. www.panna.org/action/the-ep...

A new study published in Frontiers in Agronomy, has found that training farmers in agroecological practices helps to protect them from the harmful impacts of Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs). It also increases their income. www.pan-uk.org/agroecologic...

Methyl bromide remains in use in 36 of 58 California counties, and in both urban and rural areas. publichealth.uci.edu/2026/0...

Many people wanted to believe the story that glyphosate products were completely safe and that they would not drift away from the application area. I sometimes wonder, did we collectively close our eyes? www.panna.org/news/glyphosa...

#FoodSovereignty is the right of people to define their own food systems, returning and redistributing control of food production to local communities. People should have the power to grow, share, and eat food on their own terms. Food sovereignty shouldn't feel radical. It should be the default.

“Chronic low-dose exposure to these chemicals may pose similar aging-related risks in humans, potentially contributing to age-associated diseases,” the authors write. www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/...

In fact, the EPA did not start a new review of paraquat. civileats.com/2026/01/28/th...

"One of the most striking results is that 85% of the tested apples contained multiple pesticide residues," said Gergely Simon, campaigner at PAN Europe. www.euronews.com/my-europe/...

Despite top administration leaders promising bold action on pesticides, the administration has refused to take any action to rein in the use of pesticides the public is rightfully concerned about, including glyphosate, atrazine, chlorpyrifos and paraquat. www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/...

We must use our voices to name what is happening: this state-sanctioned violence against civilians, families, and communities is heinous, unconstitutional, and further perpetuates harm against already oppressed people. www.panna.org/news/pesticid...

Members of the Agroecology Research-Action Collective argue against the productivist logic underlying the "feed-the-world" approaches to feed security. spectrejournal.com/the-endu...

Pesticide Action Network (PAN) UK found 12 food items were at risk of a “cocktail effect”, meaning several pesticides mixed together increase the toxicity level of the chemicals. www.the-independent.com/new...

Researchers looked at how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, affected fetal health after these chemicals contaminated the drinking water supply. wapo.st/4oMSJBV

EPA dismissed new research by international cancer experts that warns of links between cancer and the widely used pesticide atrazine, deriding the team of cancer scientists and echoing atrazine maker Syngenta in its criticism. www.thenewlede.org/2025/12/...

PFAS in pesticides is woefully understudied. EPA should ensure that any new pesticides are scientifically proven to be safe for humans and the environment *before* approving them for registration. civileats.com/2025/12/10/wh...

These exemptions are going to expose people—many of whom are already overburdened by existing pollution, climate hazards, health harms, and social stressors—to more toxic air. www.ucs.org/resources/dirty...
