The Human Cost of Agrotoxins

Pablo Ernesto Piovano (1981)

Synopsis

The book delves into Argentina's decision in 1996 to begin cultivating transgenic soybeans using glyphosate herbicide, based on Monsanto's studies. Over two decades, glyphosate has affected approximately one-third of Argentina's population, turning the country into a case study in toxic exposure. The book compiles extensive scientific and medical research outlining glyphosate's detrimental effects, which include respiratory issues, skin conditions, mental disabilities, and increased rates of spontaneous abortions among those in affected areas. It also covers the societal and environmental implications of relying on corporate-led agricultural practices.
