Dear John,
Pesticide-intensive agriculture has become the default method for growing food in the United States. Over one billion pounds of conventional pesticides are used in the U.S. each year, reducing farm resiliency, increasing biodiversity loss, releasing climate emissions, degrading nutrient-dense soil, and disproportionately impacting the health and safety of farmworkers and fence line communities. Investors and consumers are increasingly looking to food manufacturers to adopt safer food growing practices that enhance crop resilience and can sustain a healthy planet for current and future generations.
As You Sow invites you to join the webinar and release of our new report and scorecard: Pesticides in the Pantry: Transparency & Risk in Food Supply Chains(3rd edition) on Wednesday, November 8, at 11 a.m. P.T.
We will outline how major food manufacturing companies are addressing their growing agricultural and human health risks, report progress made by companies, and identify remaining gaps. In our webinar, Cailin Dendas, Environmental Health Program Coordinator, will be joined by a panel of experts:
Cailin Dendas | Environmental Health Program Coordinator | As You Sow
Caroline Boden | Director of Shareholder Advocacy | Mercy Investment Services
Margaret Reeves, Ph.D. | Senior Scientist (Environmental Health and Workers' Rights) | Pesticide Action Network North America

The report also identifies key performance indicators for investors and analysts, and it describes innovative initiatives that create ecologically restorative food systems.
