*[Enwl-eng] 64% of the entire world's farmland is at risk for pesticide pollution

[ENWL]

            Pesticides are meant to help us grow food, but instead they are polluting our farmland and water sources beyond repair

                 While chemical pesticides were developed to support crop growth by keeping away harmful pests, we have known for a long time now that they can be overused and become harmful to people and animals alike. That's why a shocking new study that revealed that 64% of the entire world's farmland is at risk of pollution from pesticides is such a big deal. If we want to be able to continue safely producing enough food to survive, we need to make a change now! 

                  Sign the petition asking the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to create a task force in charge of transitioning global agricultural practices away from pesticides! 

                  Not only can pesticide have devastating effects on us humans, they can also make their way into water sources and ground soil that other living beings rely on to survive. Even worse, over one-third of the areas at risk for pesticide pollution are "high-biodiversity regions," meaning the areas richest with animal and plant life are some of the most likely to be poisoned. We have created a system of agriculture where we cannot sustainably grow the amount of food we need without poisoning the land and water we grow it with! Sign the petition to demand solutions! 

                  Thank you,
