The impact and severity of POPs is not fully understood by people. Current modern lifestyle increases the daily exposure to POPs. The layman might not be able to identify POPs, recognize its presence in daily life, or relate POPs to chronic illnesses. The term POPs might be beyond the grasp of most people. This book attempts to present POPs in simpler terms, identify POPs elements in our daily life and practical ways of minimizing exposure to it. Malaysians come into direct contact with POPs when they consume food. Excessive use of pesticides, weed killers and other forms of chemicals in Malaysian farms means that each Malaysian gets a share of these dangerous pollutants through the food they consume and the air they breathe. The increase in chronic diseases among Malaysians is ample evidence of this. While other sources of POPs may take longer to leave an impact on the environment, pesticides and other agrochemicals are speedy in nature. Bearing this in mind, CAP has put in much effort to convert farmers who use agrochemicals into agrochemical-free farmers. This is a gigantic task as the aggressive promotion of chemicals by agrochemical companies, and successful brainwashing that pesticides are a real solution to the problem of pests, has made a deep impression on many farmers over the years. CAP, in its endeavour to revive natural farming, has come across farmers who refuse to budge from farming practices that use agrochemicals for fear of losing income. Attempts to enlighten agricultural officers on this issue has proven to be a daunting task as well, as they too are trapped in a system which indirectly prevents them from freely promoting pesticide-free farming. Farmers interviewed by CAP said chemical fertiliser, pesticide and herbicide companies have spread their wings far and their grip on farmers is very strong. Hence, any action taken to convince farmers to switch to natural farming should be persistent and progressive. This book contains case studies and activities related to the Consumers Association of Penang’s efforts to create awareness about the dangers of POPs. It is our earnest hope that these activities will motivate others to move in the same direction in order to leave behind a toxic-free world for future generations.

To address this issue, a backyard aquaponics program was implemented from 2010 to 2016 to offer additional avenues to food sovereignty in a rural predominantly Native Hawaiian community. Aquaponics provides a contained and sustainable food production system that models Native Hawaiian principles of land and water stewardship.
