The truth about Paraquat is here... Our new report, released jointly with Coming Clean and Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, "Designed to Kill: Who Profits from Paraquat?" uncovers the hidden costs of this deadly pesticide. See the storymap and read the report here: pesticidestorymap.com/

The MAHA Commission won't fix public health OR our food system. Check out the new op-ed from PANNA at Common Dreams: www.commondreams.org/opinio...

Over a recent eight-year period, US imports of paraquat have totaled between 40 million and 156 million pounds per year, most coming from China and Chinese-owned manufacturing operations in the United Kingdom, the report states, citing import records. www.thenewlede.org/2025/10/...

"Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of thousands of “forever chemicals” that persist in the environment and in the bodies of humans and animals. Some PFAS have been linked to a range of health problems including certain cancers." www.thenewlede.org/2025/10/...

"The Trump administration gutted the very institutions responsible for studying children’s health and eliminated programs to prevent and manage chronic diseases." www.americanprogress.org/ar...

Exposure to PFAS has been linked to cancers, impacts to the liver and heart, and immune and developmental damage to infants and children, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. www.opb.org/article/2025/10...

"Reducing access to cancer prevention and treatment while simultaneously increasing exposure to cancer-causing pollution is an assault on Americans. This report analyzes how cancer affects Americans and how increasing pollution will elevate cancer risks and cases." www.americanprogress.org/ar...

"Chemicals found in everyday products—from plastics and pesticides to cosmetics and non-stick cookware — interfere with the body’s hormone systems in ways that may increase the risk and severity of prostate cancer, according to a new report." usrtk.org/healthwire/prosta...

🌾🚜Today is #GlobalFertilizerDay, but the truth is: Chemical fertilisers poison our food, pollute water & air, and tie food prices to fossil fuel markets. ➡️ foodrise.org.uk/failing-not-... @ciel.org @amisdelaterre.org @pesticideaction.bsky.social @grain.org @etcgroup.bsky.social @iatp.bsky.social

Trump and RFK Jr. aren't making America healthy again—in fact, they're making our nation's health care worse. @cmkelly.bsky.social explains how the administration is undermining its own MAHA agenda:

Today is Donor-Advised Funds Day! Kick off your year-end giving with immediate tax benefits via your donor-advised fund, and help PAN remain steadfast for health and justice in our food system. More info: https://www.panna.org/giving-page/donor-advised-funds/

Instead of delivering real change, the strategy appears to be just another example of the Trump administration putting the financial interests of polluting industries above people’s health. www.commondreams.org/opinio...

This new report from HEAL Food Alliance shows that precision ag practices in Iowa and the Midwest do not reduce pesticide and fertilizer use as much corporate ag operations suggest. app.publicnewsservice.org/s...

Government-run, nonprofit grocery systems can better respond to food-price inflation, corporate consolidation, and inequality. civileats.com/2025/08/20/op...

Make America Healthy Again wants farmers to produce healthier food, but the climate crisis and Trump’s energy policies are making that harder to do. civileats.com/2025/08/12/th...

The counties with the highest use of pesticides per square mile are all located in Missouri’s Bootheel. Many of these counties have some of the state’s highest cancer rates and their health care options are dwindling. investigatemidwest.org/2025...

Despite MAHA promises to reduce chemical exposures, experts warn the Trump administration is approving a wave of ‘frightening’ pesticides. civileats.com/2025/09/08/ep...

The MAHA Commission strategy report confirms that the administration has no real plans to reduce exposures to pesticides. Further, it broadly reaffirms the administration’s continued reliance on voluntary industry compliance rather than enforceable federal regulation. www.panna.org/news/pesticid...

Vox: "Exclusive: RFK Jr. and the White House buried a major study on alcohol and cancer. Here’s what it shows. Kennedy wants to “Make America Healthy Again” — but doesn’t want you to see a report that could do just that." www.vox.com/health/460086/r...

"Five days into a 30-day hunger strike, Omar Dieguez said he was hungry. He had prepared for this action for months, he said, and practiced fasting for several days at a time." santacruzlocal.org/2025/09/...

The study, published Thursday in the journal ACS ES&T Water, comes as the Trump administration is overhauling a rule mandating that water systems take action to clean up forever chemicals in drinking water. www.wired.com/story/we-can-...

URGENT - CALL YOUR REPS: Today at 10AM ET, the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee will vote on appropriations text that would 1) enshrine lawsuit immunity for pesticide manufacturers 2) preempt states' ability to regulate pesticides and

Pollinator Week is NOT just about honey bees! Pesticides endanger all kinds of pollinators including some that may give you the “ick,” but, I’m going to ask you to consider “swiping right” on wasps, too. www.panna.org/news/wasps-po...

Over the last two decades, neonicotinoid pesticides, or neonics, have swiftly become the most widely used class of insecticides globally. Unfortunately for our pollinators, neonics are very efficient at dealing death. www.panna.org/news/neonics-...

A new report from Friends of the Earth refutes the widely-held assumption that conventional no-till agriculture is “regenerative.” www.commondreams.org/newswi...

For the last few years, Iowa has had the second-highest rate of cancer in the nation, and is only one of two US states where cancer is increasing. www.thenewlede.org/2025/06/...

The results of the two-year study, which were published June 10 in the journal Environmental Health, add to an ongoing global debate over the safety of the pesticide, which is commonly used by farmers to kill weeds in fields and pastures. www.thenewlede.org/2025/06/...

During the trial, Grantges’ lawyer presented jurors with evidence that Monsanto long had knowledge of research showing a connection between glyphosate and cancer, but worked to hide the evidence rather than warning its customers. www.thenewlede.org/2025/06/...

In a proposed rule change announced on March 17, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service want to change the way they interpret the Endangered Species Act, which they collectively administer, by rescinding the definition of “harm.” civileats.com/2025/05/07/a-...

Researchers increasingly suspect that environmental toxins, detected in everything from urine and blood serum to breast milk and amniotic fluid, play a significant role in increasingly common female reproductive health disorders. usrtk.org/healthwire/endocr...

Big Oil "knew ‪decades ago that burning fossil fuels would cause, in its own words, 'globally catastrophic' harm." What did the industry do with that knowledge? "It actively lied and deceived people," said @darkush.bsky.social of @publiccitizen.bsky.social The public deserves accountability!

Pesticide Action and Agroecology Network @pesticideaction.bsky.social is proud to be part of this effort to push US EPA to DO THEIR JOB and protect farmworkers, their children and others from the harmful effects of neurotoxic pesticides. bit.ly/4kYN9vl
