Slow Food Goes Brussels: Profit over principle? The EU’s export of banned toxic pesticides

In the EU there are a whole host of pesticides that are banned for being too hazardous, either to human health or the environment or both. This means that they cannot be used here. But did you know that these are still produced on EU soil and then exported to other countries, and did you know that the food produced from those pesticides is than imported back into the EU and ends up on our plates? Let’s dive into this, join our final episode of the year with our guests:

• Mathilde Dupré, co-director of the Veblen Institute
• John Clarke, former director for international relations at the European Commission and former head of the EU Delegation to the World Trade Organization in Geneva
• Kara Mackay, campaigns coordinator for the NGO Women on Farms Project in South Africa
