Atlas dos Agrotóxicos 2024 Brazil edition

Despite stricter regulations and global agreements, pesticide use has surged. Brazil, as one of the largest consumers and importers of pesticides, permits residue limits far higher than the EU. This intensifies challenges such as contamination of traditional communities and conflicts in rural areas.

The Pesticide Atlas – Brazilian Edition highlights the pervasive presence and risks of pesticides in Brazil. It explores the dynamics of the global pesticide market, and highlights the growing resistance from social movements and civil society, advocating for agroecology and organic farming in the country.

The report also underscores the need for sustainable food systems and links the pesticide debate to climate change, with the aim to drive transformative changes in food production and move towards healthier, more sustainable agriculture practices for Brazil and beyond.
