A legal case has been launched in Kenya, alleging that hazardous pesticides and herbicides are damaging the health of farmers. The action is being brought against the Kenyan government, its regulator, and several multinational agrochemical companies.
Lawyers, activists, and health practitioners involved in the case claim that these products, designed to improve farming efficiency, have severely affected individuals due to high exposure. They are seeking changes to existing regulations, along with increased education and compensation for those reportedly impacted.
The case is currently in the evidence-gathering phase, with lawyers, health practitioners, and scientists working to support the claims.
