Mission: The mission
of Pro-Organic Belize is to educate,
inspire, and encourage farmers regarding
the benefits and opportunities of a
sustainable pro-organic system of
agriculture that regenerates the soil, and
to educate consumers on the health
benefits of pesticide-free produce. Objectives and Goals: Through education and supportive services, we help farmers and consumers understand the benefits and opportunities in growing and consuming organically grown food -- toward the essential shift in agriculture from using toxic chemicals that compromise the integrity of the environment, our food, our water, our soil, and our health -- to natural more cost-effective agricultural practices that promote well-being and sustainability. 2021 - Our Year in Review Projects and Activities Pro-Organic
Belize Pesticide-Free Consumers
Group
With
other Belizean organizations concerned
about the environment and food
safety, we sponsored a project to
bring globally recognized authority
Dr. Stephani Seneff to Belize in
April 2017. She testified before the
Pesticide Control Board and spoke to
farmers and the public about the
dangers of using glyphosate on
farmland. It is our intention to
reveal the truth about the
consequences to the environment and
our health toward achieving a ban on
glyphosate. Visit the ban-glyphosate
website for articles, information,
videos, and podcasts toward
understanding this grave threat.
Unlike many other
countries, Belize has not yet
implemented a regular program to test
for toxic residues left on fruits
& vegetables, locally grown or
imported.
