Impacts of Pesticides Use and International Regulation
This book is the result of a collective effort headed by the IPSA1 (International Pesticides Standard Alliance) group, a two-year long partnership that was officially consolidated in March 2023 at the United Nations Water Meeting in New York, when IPSA released its statement. The main objective of IPSA, including this book, is to discuss the need for international pesticide regulation, as suggested by the title of this book. This book is divided into two major parts: the articles in the first part deal with the theme of “Pesticides and Justice” and in the second part the articles deal with the “Impacts of Pesticides on Human and Environmental Health”. These parts are convergent with the very purpose of IPSA in that they reflect on the legal challenges (on different scales) to pesticides and also, fundamentally, reflect on the impacts these substances have on human health and environmental health.
