The Human Cost of Agrotoxins
In 1996 the Argentinian government approved, only relying on studies of the Monsanto Company, the cultivation of transgenic soybeans and the use of glyphosate herbicide spray, which was employed on resistant genetically-modified crops. With nearly two decades of glyphosate spraying affecting directly or indirectly one third of the country’s population.
Argentina has become a field study in toxic disaster with hundreds of scientific studies and medical surveys confirming the herbicide’s lethal impact. The Human Cost of Agrotoxins documents the impact of 20 years of indiscriminate use of agrochemicals in the rural northeast of Argentina, and their devastating impact.
