A call to march against Monsanto-Bayer everywhere in France

  May 19, 2022

On Saturday, May 21, 2022, for the 10th consecutive year, thousands of people will mobilise to denounce the current agrochemical industrial system and its disastrous consequences on human and environmental health in France and everywhere in the world.

On Saturday, come and march to defend:

  • biodiversity
  • agroecology and family farming
  • synthetic pesticides and GMO-free agriculture 
  • health for all
  • recognition and compensation for the victims of the agro-industrial system (agent orange, chlordecone, glyphosate and other pesticides)
  • healthy food accessible to all
  • fair redistribution of CAP money
  • environnemental justice
  • exit from free-trade agreements.

While scandals and legal proceedings are piling up (chlordecone, agent orange, glyphosate, new GMOs, …), we need to get massively mobilized to denounce the destructive industrial farming system and promote alternatives to develop a virtuous model for human health and biodiversity.
