Healthy food begins with healthy farming practices. As we work towards sustainable and resilient communities, it is important to promote food systems that protect human health, biodiversity, and the environment. We join the call to raise awareness on the risks associated with Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) and support efforts towards safer and more sustainable agricultural practices. #NoToPoisonsInFood #AbashPoisonsInOurFood #PhaseOutHHPs #Biodiversity #SustainableAgriculture
