Kongsi Ideas | The Hidden Costs of Conventional Farming on your Health and Your Wallet | Dr. How

In this topic, Dr. Vivien How shares her research uncovering the true costs of conventional farming - and what we can do to protect our health, our communities, and our future.

We all want healthy food - but what if the real cost of our food is our health?

Pesticides are a hidden part of the farming system nowadays, but its impact reaches far beyond the farms.

From increased risks of chronic illness among farming families to the long-term effects on the soil, the water and the air, it's time to ask: what are we really paying for at the grocer checkout?
