     Peasants and indigenous people are now hungry because food crops, including this citrus fruit, are being destroyed by aerial fumigation, intended to eradicate coca. Our delegation visited people in La Hormiga, a town in the Puntumayo department, where children have been sickened, fish and animals killed, and water contaminated by fumigation with glyphosate, made by Monsanto, a US corporation.
These slides and captions are the work of Katie Knight who traveled to Colombia on a CSN peace delegation. Katie has many more slides she is still working with and is avaliable to do presentation. Click here to contact her.
