If you’re eager to learn more about crop protection products from a range of different perspectives, there’s no better place to start than the Red de Lente — or Save our spring — podcast.
In a series of episodes running for around 45 minutes each, the makers interview different people about their work and their relationship with crop protection products. The interviewees range from growers to nature lovers.
Topics covered in the first season of this podcast include the global mass death of bees, scientists warning against the dangers of crop protection products, farmers who cannot (yet) get by without these products, the position adopted by the industry and Darwin wasps as a natural friend.
The second season turns its focus to society at large and asks what we ourselves can do to save our spring. On top of that, the makers speak to various parties in the supply chain, including the Intratuin garden centre chain, about what they are doing to promote a more sustainable approach to crop protection. One episode also provides an update on the relationship between crop protection products and Parkinson’s disease. The makers then turn their gaze to politics, asking whether the government is doing enough to limit the risks of crop protection products.
All in all, the podcast covers a variety of perspectives and offers a wide-ranging discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of crop protection products.
