Educational materials and webinars for farmers, consumers and activists
Action alerts and petitions for policy change and public engagement
Newsletters and blogs for updates and analysis
PANNA’s pricing is based on donations from individuals, foundations and progressive businesses.

Food & Farming: promoting agroecology, organic farming and food sovereignty
Health & Environment: protecting people and ecosystems from pesticide harms
Global Solidarity: building alliances with other movements for social justice
