As far back as 1975 corporate insiders were aware of potential risks. They called #paraquat’s long-term effects "a quite terrible problem” (Nov 11, 1975 ltr to #Chevron Environmental Health, Standard Oil of California).
Over 70 countries banned paraquat; it remains legal in US. #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency banned use on #golf courses but allows on crops.
Most US paraquat comes from China & UK—both banned paraquat’s use in their countries.

Hard to know full scope of paraquat use across US; California is only state where info on location & amt of use is readily available.— ewg.org/research/wonderful-com
In 2023 it was 46th most used pesticide in CA, 369,978 pounds applied.— cdpr.ca.gov/2024/12/30/departm

​​El gobierno federal deja de cobrar 158 mil millones de reales [u$s 29.260 millones] por año en impuestos federales del agronegocio, lo que equivale al presupuesto del Bolsa Familia [plann social] y beneficia principalmente a multinacionales que lucran con la exportación. En total, según información ofrecidas poe las propias empresas y divulgadas por la Receta Federal [Agencia Federal de Impuestos de Brasil], las exenciones de impuestos que benefician directamente a las agropecuarias y a la agroindustria sumaron 158,17 mil millones de reales en 2024.

Algunas de las empresas más beneficiadas

El video que nadie vio.
Publico este video porque Jornalistas&Cia, a quienes respeto por décadas de trabajo cubriendo la trayectoria de la prensa brasileña, me lo pidió y lo envié. Pero, lamentablemente, no lo mostraron en la ceremonia de premiación. Es importante que lo vean.

Cuando vi que mi nombre estaba entre los 100 periodistas más admirados de Brasil y que Syngenta estaba entre los patrocinadores, no lo compartí ni voté. Aun así, fui elegida la cuarta periodista más admirada en la categoría de audiotexto. Y por eso, agradezco a todas, todos, todes, que votaron por mí. Y por respeto a quienes votaron por mí y a los lectores de mis reportajes y artículos a lo largo de 37 años de periodismo, debo posicionarme. Y como saben, siempre lo hago.

Cuando anunciaron mi renuncia al premio, dijeron que lo había rechazado por «motivos personales» debido al «apoyo que recibí». Debemos respetar la verdad. Y las razones se explican claramente en este video.

Gracias por la confianza de todes que votaron por mí. Me esfuerzo cada día por merecerla.

From 2010: #Navajo Commercial Farm Using #GeneticallyModified Seeds, Despite Global Protests

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, June 16, 2010

"While #IndigenousPeoples protest #Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds around the world, the Navajo Nation’s commercial farm, #NavajoAgriculturalProductsIndustries, continues to use these seeds for commercial crops.

"Haitian farmers are now burning donated Monsanto seeds. In India, thousands of farmers committed suicide after switching from traditional seeds to genetically modified seeds. In Chiapas, Mayan farmers have refused to use the seeds which damaged heritage seed stock. Cross pollination from genetically modified seeds can endanger crops from ancient seed stock in the region.

"#Navajos have long planted century-old corn using traditional #DryFarming. Navajos relied on the stars to know when to plant and sometimes planted in spirals, according to Navajo elders in Rock Point, Arizona.

[...]

"However today the Navajo commercial farm boasts on its website that it plants genetic #HybridCorn seed purchased from '#PioneerSeed Company, #Syngenta Inc., and Monsanto companies." The commercial farm, NAPI, is located on the Navajo Nation near Farmington, N.M., and grows commercial food crops, including corn for potato chips, along with potatoes, wheat and other crops.

"Around the world, #Monsanto and genetically modified seeds have meant death for Indigenous Peoples and their crops."

[...]

"The area of northwest #NewMexico has been known as a 'US Sacrifice Area,' since the 1970s. It is the Navajo people who
have been sacrificed, by way of the US government working in collusion with #corporations and the elected Navajo Nation government.

"While #NAPI continues to use genetically modified seeds on its commercial farm, NAPI also has a #RaytheonMissile manufacturing plant located on the commercial farm where the crops are grown, a fact many would like kept secret. The fact that the Raytheon Missile factory is located on the Navajo farm was censored by Indian Country Today in 2006. At that time, Cuba was expressing interest in purchasing food products from NAPI and Indian Country Today editors demanded
that no research be done on Raytheon's missile plant at the farm or any possible pollutants discharged from Raytheon."

From Chapter 14 of #KleeBenally's book, #NoSpiritualSurrender - #IndgenousAnarchy, #InDefenseOfTheSacred:

"Although the #NavajoTribalCouncil established a mass scale farming initiative called '#NavajoAgriculturalProductsIndustry (#NAPI),' the farm has stated on its website that it plants genetic #HybridCorn seed purchased from '#PioneerSeedCompany, #Syngenta Inc., and #Monsanto companies.' In 2014, in an attempt to 'curb' the diabetes epidemic, the #NavajoNationCouncil created a law that raised the sales tax for cheap junk foods sold on Navajo Nation and another removing sales tax from fresh fruits and vegetables. Economic pressure on those already struggling while not addressing the root causes and environmental degradation is par for the course for the #colonial government and Navajo politicians.

"Instead of directly feeding ourselves and communities, we have become dependent on businesses and corporations that are more concerned with profits than our health and well-being. The #BoardingSchools were replete with capitalist indoctrination to forcibly assimilate #Diné children into colonial society. The curriculum was designed with a clear lesson: To feed our families we needed jobs. To have jobs we needed to be trained. To be trained we needed to obey. To not have a job means you’re poor. To employ other workers is to build wealth. To build wealth means success."

"Gorgeous #eco #documentary to save #seed #diversity. Few things on our planet are as precious and vital as seeds. [..] But this most precious of resources is under threat: more than 90 percent of all seed varieties have already disappeared. Biotech corporations like #Syngenta and #Bayer / #Monsanto have long controlled the global seed market with genetically modified plants. That is why more and more passionate farmers, scientists, lawyers and indigenous seed owners are fighting [..] for the future of variety diversity.
[..] #TaggartSiegel and #JonBetz follow these passionate seed guardians [..]. Without knowing it, they become true heroes for all #humanity as they reconnect us to the original richness of our culture"

La France attaquée en justice pour avoir exporté des pesticides interdits.

"Alors que la loi proscrit depuis 2022 l’envoi de ce type de produits dont l’usage est prohibé dans l’Union européenne, près de deux ans plus tard, rien n’a été fait.

Et ne pensez pas que ces pesticides interdits au sein de l’Union européenne n’ont aucune chance de se retrouver dans nos assiettes, c’est faux."
