So many of the foods we eat everyday are sprayed again and again with pesticides before landing on our table. And we all learned over the years, one scandal after another, that this is no good news, either for our health or the environment. But what most people don’t know is the tight connection between pesticides and GMOs. As the European Union is about to take some critical decisions on both pesticides and GMOs, we unveil the troubling truth about that very toxic couple, which are tied by many links, with our three guests:
- Mute Schimpf, policy officer at Friends of the Earth Europe
- Bosse Dalhgren, Slow Food farmer in Scotland
- Karina Ocampo, Slow Food activist in Argentina
