Fact-checked via 4-step process— how we build this report

01Primary Source Collection

Data aggregated from peer-reviewed journals, government agencies, and professional bodies with disclosed methodology and sample sizes.

02Editorial Curation

Human editors review all data points, excluding sources lacking proper methodology, sample size disclosures, or older than 10 years without replication.

03AI-Powered Verification

Each statistic independently verified via reproduction analysis, cross-referencing against independent databases, and synthetic population simulation.

04Human Cross-Check

Final human editorial review of all AI-verified statistics. Statistics failing independent corroboration are excluded regardless of how widely cited they are.

Read our full methodology →

Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

Pesticide statistics are shifting faster than most people expect, with 2025 data showing a clear rise in reported use alongside persistent concerns about risk. When you separate the totals by crop, region, and application method, the pattern stops looking uniform and starts revealing sharp differences. That tension is what we track in the dataset so you can see what’s actually changing.
