For soy producers in Paraguay, people are a bigger nuisance than bugs and weeds
They're harder to stamp out.
Industrial soy production is sweeping across Paraguay. Standing in its way are communities of farmers and families who call this land home.
Spraying soy with toxic chemicals is often used as a deliberate tactic to force people from their land. Communities living near to soy may be sprayed with pesticides without warning up to 20 times per year.
The poison seeps into peoples' homes, destroys their crops and pollutes their water supplies. It causes headaches, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea and sometimes death.
Please help us stop this sickening injustice.
