Brazil has turned poison into a market. And he turned poisoning into food. <\/strong>It’s no coincidence that we are the world leaders in pesticide consumption. No wonder so many people fall ill – every year – because of the poison. And where does so much poison come from?<\/strong> Sometimes it comes from above. Rain of poison.<\/p>\n\n

A common and dangerous practice. In 2017, according to IBGE, 20% of the pesticides used in the country were applied by aerial spraying. <\/strong>Of course, any pesticide is harmful to health. But the problem is that studies show that pesticides sprayed through the air can spread far beyond a plantation; they contaminate soils, waterways, the farmers themselves, houses, cities, people, animals and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n

In order to talk about and combat this practice of poisoning, today we’re going to discuss aerial spraying of agrochemicals. \n “Poison in the sky is poison on earth!”<\/em>\n<\/strong> an agenda that is also being discussed at the public hearing taking place at the ALEPE <\/strong>– Legislative Assembly of the State of Pernambuco – on the 27th!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

And it’s to talk about this very important issue that we’ve invited Giovani Le\u00e3o<\/strong> to join us today !<\/strong> Giovani is an agent of the Pastoral Land Commission<\/em>(CPT<\/strong>) and has been working for the commission in Pernambuco since 2005. His work is in Pernambuco’s Zona da Mata.<\/p>\n\n
