The circle of poison describes regulatory failures to reduce the human and environmental harms caused by the global agrochemical industry.

The big biodiversity conference in Montreal from 7-19 December was described as the event that will decide on the ‘fate of the entire living world’.

Have global environmental meetings reached the end of their usefulness? Or is hanging on to them worth it in the face of worsening environmental crises?

In the U.S. South, cotton plantations served as an early laboratory for the toxic development and mass application of agrochemicals.

Are our Western contemporaries aware of these dilemmas that we face? A Nepali scholar now residing in Norway reflects on these questions.

Rainfed areas of India, where agriculture is reliant on seasonal rainfall, are often associated with drought-prone territories characterised by endemic water scarcity to be fixed by expanding irrigation. Tracing the historical roots beneath these naturalised scarcity framings, Arianna Tozzi discusses how the work of a grassroot network provides a space to reimagine an alternative paradigm for rainfed regions that values their diversity and variability.
