Pesticides kill pests but also their natural enemies. Their inappropriate uses can harm farmers, consumers, and the environment. Over-reliance on pesticides impairs the natural balance of the crop ecosystem. It also contributes to a vicious cycle of pest resistance, which can lead to increased pesticide use with little change in crop losses to pests and diseases. Reducing pesticide risks has been one of FAO’s core strategies for achieving sustainable crop production, intensification and diversification.

FAO addresses pesticide management in a holistic manner by considering all the required regulatory and technical measures in the lifecyle of pesticides to ensure their safety and efficacy with no adverse effects on health and the environment, including humans, animals, plants and ecosystems.
