PAN-AP

Pesticide Action Network Asia Pacific (PANAP) is a regional network affiliated with Pesticide Action Network International, established in 1992. We collaborate with civil society organizations, farmers, women, agricultural workers, pastoralists, indigenous peoples’ organizations, and academic institutions across the Asia Pacific region. Our mission is to advance food sovereignty, promote environmental health, and uphold social justice.

Campaigns and Advocacy
PANAP is dedicated to eliminating Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs), which pose significant threats to health and the environment. We conduct comprehensive research and documentation on the adverse impacts of pesticide use, land grabbing, and corporate malpractices. Our Community-based Pesticide Action Monitoring (CPAM) program empowers communities to document and address pesticide-related issues, fostering grassroots action and awareness.

Capacity Building and Training
We offer extensive capacity-building programs focusing on the detrimental effects of pesticides, the principles and practices of agroecology, and the promotion of women’s leadership in rural settings. Our training initiatives equip communities with the knowledge and tools to transition towards sustainable agricultural practices and strengthen women’s roles in advocating for their rights and environmental health.
