The U.S. Is Exporting Deadly BANNED Pesticides To Poor Countries

Did you know that the same deadly pesticides the U.S. has banned for use on Americans are still sold around the world? Legally? This practice is explicitly permitted under a U.S. law known as FIFRA. The EU and UK do it too. And those toxic pesticides often end up in lower-income countries that often aren’t equipped to handle them, leading to disease, birth defects, and even death. Yara heads to an international pesticide conference to confront the pesticide lobby and expose the deadly double standard at the heart of a multibillion-dollar industry.
