Since its inception nearly 30 years ago, PAN has recognized the power and importance of collaboration. Because the challenges posed by pesticides and corporate control of agriculture are much too large for any organization to tackle alone, working in partnership is a core value of our global network.
PAN has developed a powerful coalition of partners to get the job done. We share information and expertise, building alliances that protect our health and ecosystems. We work together to reduce reliance on toxic chemicals, promote food democracy and move toward a healthy, just and resilient system of agriculture. Below you will find in-depth profiles of some of our many PAN Partners, as well as a map showing where PAN Partners are working across the country.
