Green Warriors: Paraguay’s Poisoned Fields

Since 2001, five million hectares of forests have been destroyed in Paraguay to make way for soybean plantations. Soy fields now surround many villages and their residents are being poisoned by pesticides. In 2014, Adela, 6 months old, and Adélaïde, 3 years old, both died within a few hours, after being exposed to pesticide spreadings. Working with scientists, the Green Warriors team investigates the genetic damage to children exposed to these pesticides.
