The report provides the most comprehensive global assessment to date of how four major chemical groups—phthalates, bisphenols, pesticides, and PFAS—affect human health, ecosystems, and economic stability through the global food system. It finds that without a timely and coordinated phase-out, these chemicals will continue to drive significant harm to health and fertility, damage ecosystems, and erode long-term economic resilience.Moving from diagnosis to action, the report offers clear, evidence-based recommendations to drastically reduce chemical exposures and move towards a safer chemical economy.
