The book shares essential insights into the use of pesticides in agriculture, discusses the politics, rhetoric and profits involved, addresses the potential health and ecological risks of pesticides in our daily lives, and debates possible solutions. Is agriculture without pesticides possible at all?

For many years, Johann G. Zaller, an ecologist at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, and his team, have been researching applied chemicals and their effects on the environment. Their findings, together with relevant literature and media reports, are presented in this book, which offers a unique resource for anyone who wants toknow the nature and background of pesticides and how we come into contact with them in our daily lives.

Autoren-Porträt von Johann G. Zaller

Johann G. Zaller is Associate Professor at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria. He studied biology, botany and ecology at the Universities of Salzburg and Innsbruck in Austria. During his postgraduate research career he worked and studied in the United States, Argentina, Switzerland and Germany.

His research group at the University of Vienna investigates how environmental changes influence organisms and ecosystem functions. The group especially is interested in the effects of agricultural management measures (e.g. tillage, crop rotation, mowing, fertilising, pesticide applications) and the impacts of global changes (e.g. elevated atmospheric CO2, ultraviolet-B radiation, rainfall and temperature variations, invasive species).
