This report examines research on the human health effects of synthetic agricultural pesticides and finds compelling evidence of harm. It calls for a phase-out of pesticides, and a radical shift to ecological agriculture. […]

Evidence on how small-scale agroecology can feed Africa in a better and more sustainable manner than the industrial model of agriculture. In order for this to happen, a radical shift towards agroecology is required. […] A scientific study has found that goats fed with genetically engineered soybean had 40% less immune substance in their milk, resulting in significant reductions in the weight of their offspring. […] Item 1 Genetically modified soybean in a goat diet: Influence on kid performance R. Tudisco R., Calabrò S. Cutrignelli M.I., Moniello G., Grossi M., Mastellone V., Lombardi P., Pero M., Infascelli F. ( […] Climate-resilient farming communities can be built by tapping the rich repository of traditional farming systems which practice effective agroecological strategies and have strong social networks. […]
This report identifies knowledge gaps relating to new plant breeding techniques. Current biosafety regulations are a good base, but insufficient in themselves, to address uncertainties, so further research before commercialisation is recommended. […] Fieldwork in Malawi and Kenya has shown that small-scale farmers practising ecological farming with no chemical pesticides or fertilisers can get far better yields and incomes than those using chemicals. […] This report examines whether GM crops are better for the environment and presents evidence that they can cause serious adverse environmental impacts. […] |
