Pesticide Atlas Korean Edition (English version)

Published: 20 September 2023
Atlas
South Korea's use of pesticides began with its forced conversion to the Japanese agricultural regime during Japanese occupation in the early 20th Century. Behind rapid industrialisation in the post-1960s, were problems of environmental pollution and pesticide poisoning due to the world's highest pesticide use. With authorities leaving control to agrochemical companies, and the companies only interested in selling pesticides, a pesticide policy for nature and people is a long way off.

Perspectives Asia #11: Transitions

Published: 13 March 2023
Perspectives
