FARM is not seeking to eradicate the use of pesticides and plastics in agricultural production. Rather, FARM is seeking to incentivize farmers to adopt effective alternatives to the most harmful pesticides and reduce plastic waste.

To do this, FARM is elaborating the business case for banks and policymakers to reorient policy and financial resources towards farms and farmers to help them adopt low and non-chemical alternatives and transition towards more sustainable management of pesticides and plastics.
