Dangerous pesticides from Bayer and BASF - a global business with double standards
The German pesticide manufacturers Bayer and BASF sell a large number of pesticide active ingredients in South Africa and Brazil that are not authorised in the EU because they are harmful to humans and nature. From a human rights perspective, this is a questionable business with so-called double standards. The brochure shows cases of indigenous communities in Brazil and farm workers in South Africa whose health is jeopardised by the use of pesticides.
