Help us make this a turning point! The European Parliament is getting ready to vote on the Pesticide Omnibus. We have a few weeks to make sure our representatives in the European Parliament choose our health over the industry’s profits. Help us put pressure on them with a few simple clicks ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Can’t say we are shocked, sadly. We’ve seen this before: industry ghostwriting EU Commission proposals to serve its own interests (remember the new GMOs deregulation plan?). But this can be a turning point. Let’s make it the final straw, and demand better for our health, for farmers, for nature!

🎉Une foule immense s'élance sur une route bordée de barbelés déroulé la veille par les forces de l'ordre. 15 000 personnes avancent en scandant "tout le monde déteste les pesticides" . 1/3🧵⤵️

« Les victimes ne veulent plus mourir en silence » : des malades du cancer et des agriculteurs mobilisent l’opinion pour la sortie des pesticides

📣 Tomorrow we go to France to join farmers, chemical industry workers, people harmed by pesticide exposure to denounce multinationals that poison us - like Syngenta, the world's #1️⃣ pesticide seller. 🗣️ To call on our political leaders to end this impunity, to choose our health over their profits.

🕴️To protect their profits, agribusiness invest heavily in lobbying. According to their own declarations, just nine of the most active agrifood industry actors reported spending over 50 million € between 2020 and 2023 while the EU pesticide reduction law was under debate (so probably more)

🍔 Corporate power drives the production of ultra-processed foods because they yield the highest profits, with devastating consequences for health. In the EU, around a third of deaths from cardiovascular disease are linked to an unhealthy diet

🥩 The top 5 meat & dairy producers emit as much as one fossil fuel giant like BP or Shell. And with one billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year, the 45 largest meat and dairy corporations would rank ninth globally if they were a country.

🥖 Corporations make profits from food at the expense of workers. In France, producers receive just €6.90 of every €100 spent on food, almost half their share of 30 years ago. In the United States, 5 of the 10 lowest-paid occupations are found in the food industry.
