#Brazil: "An investigation by SUMAÚMA found 75 candidates, including allies of Flávio Bolsonaro, have been charged with violating environmental laws in the Amazon
In recent months, Daniel Santos, who is running for office as Dr. Daniel, has been crisscrossing the interior of Pará to introduce himself as the agribusiness and mining candidate for governor of the state. His goal, he says, “is to free the productive sector.” On this journey, he has built ties to Bolsonarism and promised to grow agricultural output and work against demarcation of Indigenous Territories. And he has one more promise: to cancel environmental fines."

'[C]ontrasting today’s deepening dependence and the loss of heirloom varieties against the region’s storied past, said to be the birthplace of #agriculture itself, feels like rubbing salt in the wound. “Lebanon’s millennia-old agricultural heritage—one of the oldest in the world—is under imminent threat,” Salloum told me.'

CW: Bad news: pesticides. But an very good approach to calculate ecological toxicity
RE: https://eupolicy.social/@Akshay/116192439506710815
"To determine global pesticide risk, the study researchers looked at data on pesticide use from 2013 to 2019 in 65 nations that collectively represent nearly 80% of global crop acreage. They then combined these statistics with data on the toxicity of 625 pesticides for eight different species groups, including aquatic invertebrates and plants, fish, pollinating insects, soil organisms, and terrestrial arthropods, plants and vertebrates."
This TAT [total applied toxicity] is a very good approach to measure ecotoxicity. This is very important since the often used "tons of pesticides applied" is quite useless when we are talking about substances with highly varying toxicity. 👌
Of many pesticides, we do not really know the toxicity, or there is a lack of scientific consensus because the agrochemical corporations play dirty and have an army of paid pseudo-scientists. Additionally, toxicological studies focus mainly on acute toxicity on humans and not on long-term adverse health effects or the effects of combinations of different pollutants. And the toxicity for ecosystem functions is seldom even considered.
May this TAT help us to not underestimate toxicity so much.@mongabay 🌱

Let's cover the Mid North Coast of NSW in plastic..
Image:
"Surrounding the town of El Ejido, Almeria Province, southern Spain is a sea of greenhouses, stretching for tens of kilometers. Millions of tons of vegetables are exported to other European countries and other parts of the world. The image covers an area of 19 x 30.5 km, was acquired July 20, 2008, and is located at 36.75 degrees north latitude, 2.75 degrees west longitude."
