Brasil de Fato [Unofficial]Bayer escolhe Brasil para estrear complemento a agrotóxico mais polêmico do mundo
Karen E. Lund 💙💛The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to re-approve dicamba, a weed-killing pesticide so hazardous it was banned by federal courts TWICE thanks to the legal work of CFS and our allies. Dicamba, sprayed on crops genetically engineered to withstand it, has drifted rampantly to cause the worst crop and wild plant damage in the history of U.S. agriculture.

Trump EPA Sued for Reapproving Dicamba, Volatile Herbicide Responsible for Massive Drift Damage to Crops, Trees, Wild Areas
Farmers and conservation groups filed a lawsuit today challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s reapproval of the dangerous, drift-prone pesticide dicamba sprayed on genetically engineered cotton and soybeans. Federal court decisions in 2020 and in 2024 struck down the agency’s previous approvals of the weedkiller as unlawful. But despite assurances from EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin that new restrictions would prevent the pesticide’s damaging drift, the new approval is in many ways more permissive than past approvals. It eliminates the June cutoff date of prior approvals, meaning it can be sprayed in July and August. And it drops a previously required 100-foot buffer to protect endangered species and their habitat.

EPA Reapproves Dangerous, Drift-Prone Pesticide Dicamba
The Environmental Protection Agency announced today that it has reapproved products containing the dangerous, drift-prone pesticide dicamba to be sprayed on genetically engineered cotton and soybeans. The reapproval comes despite federal court decisions in 2020 and again in 2024 striking down the agency’s previous approvals of the weedkiller as unlawful. Since its first approval in 2016, dicamba drift has damaged millions of acres of farmland and caused devastating damage to orchards, vegetable farms, home gardens, native plants, trees, and wildlife refuges across the country. Experts have found dicamba drift damage to be the worst of any herbicide in the history of U.S. agriculture. Yet the current approval provides even fewer protections from dicamba drift and damage than past approvals.
EPA set to reapprove #dicamba — previously banned by courts. The EPA has approved dicamba twice before (for over-the-top use on #GMO dicamba-tolerant crops), and both times federal courts vacated those approvals, saying the risk of drift and harm to neighboring farms and gardens was too great. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2026/01/30/dicamba-registration-epa-pesticides/
From Industry to EPA: Lobbyist Now Oversees Pesticide Rules! Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for the US soybean industry, boasting of helping to keep the controversial herbicide #dicamba in use on #GMO crops. Now he's helping keep it in use at the EPA! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/climate/from-industry-to-epa-lobbyist-now-oversees-pesticide-rules.html

#KyleKunkler fought for a restricted #weedkiller that can harm plants and wildlife when it drifts to nearby land.
Until recently, Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for America’s #soybean industry. In that job he once boasted of helping to keep a controversial weedkiller called #dicamba in use.
He’s now at the E.P.A., which wants to allow its use.
