Description:
A farmer spraying coriander (Coriandrum Sativum) plants with pesticides to protect them from insects. Farmers are waging a multi-pronged war, forced to contend with new pests and diseases. For them, spraying more pesticides is a measure taken to âavoid the riskâ of losing the crop. The consequence is that consuming food contaminated with pesticides has devastating short-term and long-term impacts. A study by Pesticides Action Network-India (PAN-India) found that 56 pesticides used in India were carcinogenic. Kaliganj, West Benga, India.
