And today on Cantos, we’re going to talk about Brazil! The fight against poison, against pesticides. Why so much poison, so much flexibilization?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Last week, the Brazilian Congress overturned President Lula’s veto, which allowed both the Ministry of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources<\/strong> and ANVISA –<\/strong> the National Health Surveillance Agency – to participate in the review<\/strong> processes for pesticides entering Brazil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Now, MAPA – the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock –<\/strong> will be responsible for the analysis. An analysis that tends to lean towards the entry of more poison into Brazil,<\/strong> new agrotoxics, new flexibilizations; tends to lean towards poisoning crops and populations. Is it a surprise? Could you have predicted it?<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Either we think about health now, or there will be no tomorrow<\/strong>. Either we stop making the entry of poison more flexible, or we lose out to agribusiness. What can be done? <\/strong> Walter Evangelista<\/strong> – professor of rural extension in agronomy, professor of undergraduate and doctoral studies in agroecology – talks to us.<\/p>\n\n
