Kenyan farmers demand ban on EU-made toxic pesticides
Farmers and activists in Kenya are pushing back against the use of highly hazardous pesticides that are banned in Europe but still produced there and exported to Africa.
Local communities say chemicals linked to cancer, neurological disorders, and birth defects are widely used on Kenyan farms, often without proper protective equipment. A new court case argues that the continued sale and use of these pesticides violates Kenya’s constitutional right to life and to safe, healthy food.
