-
Environmental Advocates: “Pesticides are harming our planet.” They call for stricter regulations, advocating for organic and sustainable farming methods.
Policymakers: “We need to balance economic growth with health and environmental sustainability.” They often debate the pros and cons of pesticide restrictions.
