This microsite is intended to generate awareness on synthetic toxic chemicals called herbicides/weedicides that are used for killing unwanted plant species. These chemicals are found to have intimidating effects on animal health and the environment, which are long-lasting and can be irreversible. We share our knowledge to educate the society about the impacts of herbicide use and empower them in adopting agroecological approaches.  Accentuating the need for non-chemical strategies, we encourage the farming community, consumers, governments and policymakers to help counteract the hazardous impacts of herbicide use. Efforts have been made to give information as accurate as possible based on the available documents.

The information provided in this site is expected to contribute to informed decision making on strictly regulating hazardous herbicides towards fostering a paradigm shift to non-chemical alternatives at regulatory, policy and end users level which is basically farmers and farm workers.
