World-wide Farming Pesticide Poisoning

Why I signed and shared a petition (currently on social media) against the #ToxicAlliance

      Check this –

According to an “Open Access” – BMC Public Health – study document published 07 December 2020. UAAP: Unintentional Agricultural Pest control Poisoning of farmers.

World-wide – 141 countries were covered in documented investigations,  including 58 cases in 157 articles and,  an additional 83 from WHO mortality database.

Approximately 740, 000 annual cases of UAPP reported through extracted publications – resulting into recorded 7446 fatalities and 733, 921 non-fatal cases.

According to the study reports,  the concern humanity study group within the systems,  estimate about 385 million cases of UAPP occur annually world-wide,  including around 11, 000 fatalities.

Based on a world-wide farming population of approximately 860 million – meaning that,  “about 44% of farmers are poisoned by Pesticide every year: in Southern Asia,  followed by South Eastern Asia and,  East Africa! This is staggering.
