#Prague is neat and I am here for the #ecprgc23 to tell the people something they didn't know about the use of problem- and solution-oriented #evidence in Swiss #pesticide policy (Thursday 10.45). #TextAsData as usual but first time for me with some fancy #transformer models.

Did you know #EU decision makers in #Brussels are quietly planning to allow the use of #glyphosate – a #pesticide that kills #nature – for another fifteen years? We have to let them know this is unacceptable. Sign our #petition now. https://act.greens-efa.eu/glyphosate?source=share_app

Je viens de signer cette #pétition visant à faire interdire le #glyphosate, un #pesticide toxique. Rejoignez-moi ! https://act.wemove.eu/campaigns/interdisez-le-glyphosate-toxique-maintenant?utm_campaign=UIJynDvRli&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=share

How planting rocks can crush #climatechange; the connection between #dementia and #wildfires; and a popular plant that's a natural #pesticide. Those stories and more in the current edition of “This Week in #Water” from H2O Radio>

#Oilseed rape (#OSR, Canola oil) is an important oil crop, but cultivation is #pesticide
intensive.

We inoculated plants with beneficial fungus Beauveria bassiana to see if it can protect them from pests.

Short answer: We had c. 30% success with endophytic colonisation and the colonised plants showed interesting metabolite developments but they still got eaten by the pests.

This is sad - this creek is beautiful, has colder water compared to the neighboring creeks, and used to have wild trout. But this is now basically a put and take fishery. Stocked trout may also been exposed to a lot of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers 😞

But I still like fishing and walking along this creek 😊

Chemical regulator captured by industry interests while Australia is soaked in pesticides?

"Concerningly, the review found serious allegations of chemical industry capture of the APVMA, which appears to have played a key role in the organisation not performing its full regulatory responsibilities...The board chair and CEO of Australia's chemical regulator have resigned, as a damning report finds the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) was "captured" by industry interests and subject to regular complaints of misconduct. The APVMA was also found to have "embedded" industry interests into its regulatory priorities and culture"

"Of the 10 ongoing chemical reviews, eight have been in progress for over 15 years or more, with seven ongoing for nearly 20 years”

The #BBC has been accused of “selling the public’s trust” by producing “totally biased” documentaries on the future of sustainable food sponsored by #Corteva, one of the world’s largest #pesticide firms, potentially in breach of the broadcaster’s editorial guidelines.

The “Follow the Food” documentaries, which featured a total of 28 episodes over three series, showcase “solutions” to climate breakdown, #biodiversity loss, and food security in the #farming sector.

Farmers can’t use chlorpyrifos on food because it damages children’s brains but an EPA official questions restrictions under global treaty
