Has anyone else noticed the dramatic increase in the spraying of Glyphosate and Paraquat on farmland over the last couple of years?
Whereas before it was buffalo and cows keeping the grass and weeds down now it's spray spray spray. We live on the edge of the village and the smell on some days is overpowering.As most people don't read the instructions and tend to overkill
Are the Thai authorities not aware of the health hazards ?
Also will this not affect the rice which Thailand exports? Are Toxology tests carried out on blood samples from farmers and for that matter the rice!
If not there should be as it's becoming quite a problem here where we live.
