Saving Pollinators From an Imaginary Bee-Pocalypse

A torrent of media stories from 2013-2014 presented frightening tales of “unprecedented” colony collapse disorder (CCD) among honeybees, conjuring up visions of a “bee-pocalypse” and “a world without bees,” a world in which flowers and agriculture would be decimated. Many articles blamed neonicotinoid pesticides, while others added climate change and biotech (GMO) crops as likely culprits. Some mentioned Varroa destructor mites and various viruses and diseases as possible causes. Virtually none suggested that organic food industry chemicals could also be implicated in bee deaths. The overall tone was “deep concern,” bordering on hysteria. But it sold papers and air time.

Agroecology in Africa: Silver bullet or pathway to poverty?

Agroecology in Africa: Silver bullet or pathway to poverty? 09 Agroecology in Africa: Silver bullet or pathway to poverty? A MODEL of agroecology that limits farming inputs in Africa to solely indigenous materials is meeting resistance from farmers and others who worry it will most likely force even more people on the continent into poverty and hunger. By Joseph Opoku Gakpo “The agroecology promoters will use terms like indigenous foods, indigenous crops, indigenous everything. Like we want to exclude new varieties that are coming. But even the corn we eat today is not from Africa. It’s from America,” observed Pacifique Nshimiyimana, a young farmer and agricultural enterpreneur from Rwanda.

Dad angered by glyphosate usage in St Albans | St Albans & Harpenden Review

A St Albans dad has voiced fears over a cancer-linked herbicide being used by contractors outside council homes. Phil Fletcher, 72, raised the alarm over the glyphosate-based herbicide, which the borough council s contractor John O Conner has been spraying outside his flat in Malthouse Court. Research has linked it to increasing some cancers by more than 40 per cent, according to studies by the University of Washington, and it is also thought to be harmful for organisms such as earthworms and bees. Phil, who lives on his own in a one bedroom flat, said he and his neighbours are angry that the herbicide is still being used, and he is among a group who is campaigning to get it banned in the UK.

East Africa deploys huge volumes of highly hazardous pesticides

East Africa deploys huge volumes of ‘highly hazardous’ pesticides 05 against locust plague SWARMS of locusts tens of kilometers wide have threatened to devastate crops in East Africa since late 2019, putting some 32 million people at risk of going hungry. By Leopold Salzenstein The desert locust infestation, described by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2020 as a “scourge of biblical proportions,” is the worst the region has seen in decades, according to humanitarian groups. In Ethiopia, the triple threat of locusts, floods and Covid-19 threatened to tip the region into a humanitarian crisis. To combat the emergency, governments have resorted to spraying large tracts of land with some 2 million liters of insecticides over almost 2 million hectares (5 million acres), since the beginning of the outbreak in December 2019, prompting concerns over the potential health and environmental impacts.
