4PLANET IMPACT / ISSUE
Harmful pesticide impacts
Pesticides can create risks for non-target organisms, ecosystems and people when hazards and exposure are not adequately controlled.
Why it matters
Pesticide impacts depend on the active substance, dose, exposure pathway, timing and local ecological context.
What the sources establish
FAO's pesticide-management framework calls for risk reduction across the pesticide life cycle to protect human health and the environment.
