Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 5, University of Basel (WWZ), course: Environmental Law and Public Policy, language: English, abstract: "Of course it is possible, in some places even to increase with the use of pesticides, the yield of intensive agriculture. But it is wrong to conclude that this intensification is worth per se. Because the victims of pesticide use and the costs that are imposed on the public will forget." Rudolf Susanne. 01.04.2012. Pestizide: Vom Schaden der Schädlingsbekämpfung. Ropress Genossenschaft Zürich I start with this citation, because these thoughts reflect at large my personal opinion about pesticides. The use and hazards of pesticides are not a main issue in the news, even though they are a problem and danger of our life and our environment. I will continue with a discussion of environmental and health hazards. After that I will analyze the roles and strategies of different influential groups. I will conclude this work suggesting ethical principles to manage these risks.
