The deadly with glyphosphate pesticide spraying ( Fumigation in Paraguay, glyphosphate pesticide in the fumigation of Colombia ) in Amazonia and Colombia continue incessanetemente not tell whether what is being flooded with very harmful pesticide is a plantation of coca cultivation or another.
At the end of November 2010 at Remolino Caguana was devastated a cocoa plantation in un'agricoltore Committee producer of cocoa Remolino Caguana and Suncillas.
fumigation are a real scourge for farmers who grow cocoa and who have no other form of sustenance, but this kind of struggle, undertaken by the government in Bogota against drug trafficking, does not distinguish who actually grow the coca plant from other growers.
After the passage of air that spread indiscriminatamnete glyphosphate pesticide on crops some farmers have noticed how the coca plant are the only ones to resist the powerful weed while all other are "burned" instantly.
Farmers now cultivate cocoa and suffer from glyphosphate pesticide are part of the "No to coca, cocoa yes" conceived by Father Hyacinth Franzoi, historical missionary Remolino. Remolino before the advent of the "No to coca, cocoa yes" was a little Las Vegas of the drug trafficking in the Amazon with numerous bars, casinos, nightclubs, brothels, restaurants, luxury living through trade of coca paste for sale every Sunday at the town market on a multitude of stalls. This market attracted thousands of buyers and with them came many dollars.
Today is Remolino a poor city that has not been able to use the money arrived, thanks to coca paste, also for the redevelopment of the crops or livestock acqustare to secure a better future. In this situation of extreme poverty Giacinto Franzoi father continued to assert that "the coca paste no longer eat and takes you straight to prison, we must think of alternative legal and sustainable", today, many farmers have embarked on this new road .
Unfortunately, the presence of illicit crops and its engagement by the Government and fumigation contractors flying over crops without distinction between legal and illegal, as well plantations to kill and pollute the environment (even with severe damage to the health of humans and animals) but also severely undermine sustainable living and legal difficulty that farmers have managed to build.
