Pesticides 'Tobacco moment'?

To lawmakers and regulators everywhere: :

We call on you to halt your pesticide deregulation plans, and immediately retract Glyphosate’s approval until an independent safety assessment has been completed. 

We stand united in our belief that food should be safe by design -- for our health, our communities, and the planet. Water and soil must be protected, and farmers deserve funding, tools, and fair prices to lead us in a pesticide-free transition.

Pesticides 'Tobacco moment'? 
Bayer just announced a new $7.25 billion deal to settle cancer lawsuits - and the most chilling part is what it signals: pay enough, and the harm disappears… even if people get sick later.

But if a chemical is suspected to cause serious illness, there’s only one way to prevent future victims - stop using it.

But instead, industry lobbyists are pushing approvals that could last forever - a “forever licence” for pesticide giants while families, farmers, and nature carry the risk.

It’s time for an urgent ban on glyphosate - and kickstart a global movement for a future of safe food and thriving farming without toxic pesticides, built around people’s health, not corporate profits
