Après un scandale sanitaire, un État du sud de l’Inde a pris la décision pionnière de se passer des pesticides.

Malgré la précarité et les obstacles structurels persistants, des coopératives de fermiers tentent d'innover.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

"Bond’s work leaves behind an inconvenient lesson for an era of climate urgency: that speed is not a substitute for understanding, and that good intentions, applied without care, can erase ancient worlds as efficiently as neglect." A beautiful tribute to William Bond. Forever missed by many.

🗑️💢 @europarl.europa.eu just cleared away the few remaining environmental safeguards in EU farming policy

Two rushed rounds of so-called “simplifications” have gutted years of progress and handed #BigAgri exactly what it wanted: money to pollute with no strings attached ✂️
