EPA regulates all other pesticides by imposing Maximum Residue Limits “Reasonable certainty of no harm” Lifetime cancer risk to pesticide exposure are below 1 cancer per 1 million persons exposed For non-cancer risk, occurs when acute or chronic basis is below the reference dose 99.9% of the time Occupational exposure is the greatest area of concern, specifically to migrant workers

Pesticide residues can accumulate in the liver, bones, and fat tissue. New pesticides are being added while the old ones still remain in the environment. Research shows peticides and fertilizers remain in the groundwater. Pesticides

Pesticides and Human Health Many are suffering from human health consequences of pesticide use: Infertility Increased allergies and food sensitivities Cancer related deaths increasing Childhood cancers Mental retardation

How about these crazy facts! Pesticides now kill 67 million birds per year. This is equivalent to all of the people living from NJ to GA. (The pesticide DDT put the Bald Eagle on the endangered species list in the 1970s before it was banned.) The Mississippi River dumps enough fertilizer into the Gulf of Mexico to maintain a 60 mile “dead zone” devoid of fish. That is the distance from the Statue of Liberty to Manasquan.

We all want the best for our children

Farm-to-School Deliveries

Who is Farmigo Mission: Farmigo is a small startup with a big mission: To empower people to create a better way to eat, by creating farm-to-neighborhood access to fresh food, benefiting local farmers and bypassing supermarkets. Technology: Farmigo is an online marketplace, where you can easily shop for delicious, local food -- seasonal fruits and vegetables, meat and eggs, bread and dairy, artisanal treats and more. Farmigo has created an entirely new and sustainable way to do your groceries -- delivered straight to your school! Roots: At Farmigo, our roots go deep; we began by giving local growers the technology they needed to create sustainable businesses through Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs), which we still do for hundreds of farms across North America.
