PAN UK's Food & Fairness project aims to generate support for safer and more sustainable farming systems that enhance the livelihoods of African women and men farmers and supply the quality of food that consumers demand. Our objectives are to:
- Use food safety concerns in Europe to raise awareness of the negative impacts of pesticide dependency on the health, environment and livelihoods of African farmers and farm workers
- Create public and consumer awareness of food safety changes that could limit access of small-scale farmers to European markets
- Encourage supermarkets, food companies and importers to support safe and sustainable pest management solutions for smallholders as part of their corporate social responsibility practices
- Facilitate dialogue between food and farming sectors, consumers, development NGOs and donors in Europe and government and agricultural sectors in Africa to deliver sustainable crop management options for small-scale farmers
