[Webinar] Toxic Fruit: Working conditions of banana plantation workers in Mindanao

This webinar discusses the working conditions of banana plantation workers in Mindanao, Philippines, particularly their exposure to toxic pesticides. It provides the global context of pesticides use, especially in the Global South, and discuss how the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s #ToxicAlliance with CropLife means less protection and safety for agricultural workers.

As part of the 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology, Unyon ng Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (Union of Agricultural Workers in the Philippines) and PAN Asia Pacific co-organised this webinar.
