Science under siegeThe Syngenta corporation and its agribusiness allies
have attempted to
suppress science related to atrazine's
environmental and health problems. Scientists
Tyrone Hayes and Paul Wotzka have faced retaliation
for speaking publicly about their findings on atrazine.
Such
bullying tactics have denied the public and policymakers
the scientific information they need to make
informed decisions on the use of atrazine. Farmers and
farmworkers, in particular, are harmed by this suppression
of science.
Syngenta undermines democracy and independent
science to keep atrazine on the marketSyngenta is a multinational corporation based in
Switzerland that is increasingly in control of global
agrichemical and seeds markets.
