PAN Partners
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.

Health Care Without Harm
Helping hospitals reduce pesticides & promote healthier food
The average hospital serves more than a million meals each year. Thanks in large measure to HCWH's work, more than 300 hospitals nationwide have taken a pledge to seek out sustainable foods, and the American Medical Association has endorsed a resolution calling on hospitals and physicians to champion nutritious and sustainable foods.

Land Stewardship Project
Working to keep the land & people together
The Minnesota-based Land Stewardship Project has worked for 27 years to create secure, healthy and fair food and farming systems. Now LSP and PAN are collaborating to train a public spotlight on the herbicide atrazine, and its main producer and promoter, the Syngenta Corporation. In early 2010, the groups published a joint report, The Syngenta Corporation and Atrazine: The Cost to the Land, People and Democracy.

Bringing the Indigenous voice to Geneva
ACAT has played an active and important role in strengthening the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants since the treaty's inception. In 2009, ACAT led a delegation of Indigenous leaders to a Stockholm Convention meeting to remind government leaders of their obligation to address the contamination these communities face daily in their environment, food and bodies.
