In a world of humanmade chemicals, pesticides are second only to fertilizer in the amount applied and the extent of use. They are effective tools for protecting crops, fighting disease-causing insects and dealing with nuisance animals such as rodents, fleas and ticks. But herbicides, insecticides and their kin can harm the environment and are dangerous to workers if improperly used.

The data clearly shows how far-reaching the impacts are—not just on pests but on beneficial organisms, soil health, and even food safety. With 64% of global arable land at risk and pesticide residues leaching deep into the ecosystem, it's time we shift focus towards sustainable crop protection solutions. Integrated Pest Management (IPM), biologicals, and precision farming must take center stage if we hope to balance productivity with planetary health.
