  • サマリー

  • When the book „Silent Spring“ was published 60 years ago, author Rachel Carson shaped the environmental movement as we now know it. But globally, the use of pesticides is still rising steadily, with devastating impacts on human health and the environment: in Europe biodiversity is declining rapidly. Already ten years ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic. Now the European Commission finally wants to act and reduce the use of pesticides by 50 percent until 2030 and reassess the approval of glyphosate. But the pesticide lobby, together with the conservative EEP group in Parliament, is up in arms against binding reduction targets and blames the war in Ukraine to justify the need for high-input agriculture. In this episode, we will learn about pesticide scandals in recent years and how millions of Europeans are raising their voices against toxic pesticides. The podcast includes interviews with: • Nina Holland - researcher at Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), Brussels, Belgium • Jeffrey Smith - consumer activist and author, Iowa, USA • John Barton - Corporate Communications Officer at Monsanto (today: Bayer), St. Louis, Missouri, USA • Dr. Kate Guyton - Senior Toxicologist at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France • Christopher Portier - Toxicologist, Switzerland • Karl Bär – Parliamentarian The Greens, Berlin, Germany • Veronika Feicht – Umweltinstitut München, Munich, Germany Shownotes: Many years of original research; The conducted interviews and original sound recordings come from Europe and the USA.
