There is good science and bad science - good science works for humanity and bad science works against humanity. Unfortunately on balance the good does not outweigh the bad. Bad science remnants can be seen far too often with huge detrimental consequences even as some may be unintended. Money is often the underlying factor and where large sums are involved corruption rears it's ugly head. Whilst money is made, damage is done. There is a whole range of instances of the aftermath. Just a little on Brazil on pesticides used in agriculture:

https://news.mongabay.com/2020/03/brazil-sets-record-for-highly-hazardous-pesticide-consumption-report/

Excerpt:

Brazil is not only the world’s champion in pesticides consumption (more than US$10 billion annually), but also the largest buyer of Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) — a United Nations designation for agrochemicals containing active ingredients with extremely acute toxicity, persisting in the environment and in organisms, and having chronic negative effects on human health and the environment, even with very low levels of exposure.

https://www.rt.com/news/465348-brazil-pesticides-regulation-banned/

Excerpt:

Brazil supplies a significant quantity of the feed that cattle and other livestock worldwide consume. European consumers tucking into a juicy steak have no idea that the creature they’re eating might have been nourished on soy sprayed with highly toxic pesticides.

You are what you eat. A consumer may not even be aware of how the food they eat journeyed from paddock to the dinner table. It may look nice, taste nice but unintended consequences??? Do we really understand the risks???

Do we really understand the risks???

Tell us what you understand of the risks if these crops weren't being grown in the manner they are?
