What if the food on our plates is slowly poisoning us? Across Ghana, staple foods like maize, rice, vegetables, and legumes are increasingly exposed to agrochemicals meant to boost yields but now raising serious questions about public health, environmental safety, and regulatory failure.

Toxic Harvest is an investigation by The Fourth Estate into how pesticides, herbicides, and other agrochemicals are being misused across Ghana’s food production chain.

From farms and markets to laboratories and policy rooms, this documentary uncovers the hidden risks facing farmers and consumers alike. This is not just a farming issue.

It is a public health concern. It is an environmental crisis. And it is a threat hiding in plain sight.
