PAN UK

Pesticide Action Network UK (PAN UK) is a charity dedicated to protecting human health and the environment from the harmful effects of pesticides. It works to eliminate hazardous pesticides, reduce reliance on pesticide use and promote ecologically sound alternatives to chemical pest control. Its work spans public education, research and advocacy, including efforts to influence UK policy, phase out highly hazardous pesticides and address the impacts of pesticide use on people, wildlife, pollinators, food and ecosystems.

PAN UK provides information and resources on pesticide risks and alternatives, covering topics such as health effects, food, gardening, agroecology and integrated pest management. It also supports practical initiatives, including pesticide-free towns and schools, and shares guidance for local authorities and communities. Through its international projects, the charity works on issues such as pesticide poisoning among cotton farmers and the transition to safer farming practices. Its website features news, reports, educational materials and campaign updates, alongside opportunities to sign up, donate and shop.
