It is unbelievable to know that
the agrochemical business still continues
producing pesticides that have been banned long ago in Switzerland and the EU.
These poisons are exported broadly,
as well into countries we import our food from (2/3 of our food is imported, excluding meat and milk-products).
This means, that we find these poisons on our plates - here in Switzerland.
This is unbelievable, but true.
I'm a winemaker, we are growing our vines biodynamically on Lake Neuchâtel
and we can observe that after working more than ten years without any synthetic pesticides,
and working with more than 7'000 other bio-farmers in Switzerland,
we can prove that it is more than possible to cultivate our agrological systems without the use of any synthetic pesticides!
