About Toxic Free NC
Founded in 1986, Toxic Free NC is the leading pesticide outreach and advocacy organization in the state. We envision a toxic-free North Carolina that is part of a just and equitable global community where human and environmental health are valued, respected, and enjoyed by all. Through policy advocacy, engagement, and programs (“Just and Sustainable Agriculture” and “Toxic Free Kids”) our focus is to build change with communities across the state to protect farmworkers, children, and vulnerable groups most impacted by pesticide pollution.
