“…However, the review noted that the fastest growing markets are located in developing regions such as Africa, South and Central America, Asia, and the Eastern Mediterranean Region and that pesticide use in developing countries would double between 1983 and 1993 (1, pp. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

Large worker populations in the Third World are exposed to increasing amounts of pesticides, including pesticides severely restricted and banned in industrialized countries. Studies on knowledge, attitudes, and practices indicate that unsafe use of pesticides is the rule in Third World countries. Surveys of acute poisonings show high rates in these countries, despite underregistration. The scarce studies on chronic health outcomes demonstrate neurotoxic, reproductive, and dermatologic effects. Exposure assessment consists mainly of cholinesterase testing, and few studies have quantified dermal and respiratory exposure. The few intervention studies demonstrate the need for evaluation of the impact of preventive measures and policies. There is no evidence that widespread "safe-use" programs have greatly affected exposure and morbidity. It was concluded that research should focus on simple methods for surveillance of exposure and on surveillance of acute illness and its causes in order to develop and evaluate rapid local interventions. Studies on chronic effects should be carried out in selected countries, aiming at long-term and broader interventions. Policies that promote the use of pesticides should be critically evaluated. North-South and South-South research collaborations must be encouraged to address this global health problem.

“…This question holds true in the literature on global commodity chains (Bair, 2009;Ciccantell & Smith, 2009), globalization of food and agriculture (Jaffee, 2007;Linton, 2009;Moberg, 2010;Raynolds, Douglas, & Leigh Taylor, 2004), and, more specifically, NTAE (Barham, Clark, Katz, & Schurman, 1992;Bonanno & Cavalcanti, 2012;Carter, Barham, & Mesbah, 1996;Challies & Murray, 2011;Galt, 2008;Hamilton & Fischer, 2005;Hughes, 2001;Kay, 2002;Korovkin, 1992Korovkin, , 2003Mannon, 2005;Murray, 2006;Murray & Hoppin, 1992;Ortiz & Aparicio, 2007;Selwyn, 2010;Singh, 2002;Thrupp, Ann, Bergeron, & Waters, 1995;White, 1997).…”

“…Another school looks at the consequences of over exploitation in the present generation itself (Cheru, 1992). The questions dealt with concern the costs of foregoing certain benefits due to reduced exploitation of resources, and how the cost of new technologies leading to better developmental patterns should be shared by nations, especially between those in the North and the South (Murray and Hoppin, 1992;Salim, 1991).…”
