Mediapart retrace l'audience de notre procès contre Bayer #Monsanto jeudi au tribunal de Vienne.

Merci d'avoir noté que "De toute la matinée, il (l'avocat de Monsanto) n’a pas jeté un œil à Théo."

Aucune dignité, totale mauvaise foi quand il a repris un détail d'un blog pour le monter en épingle et faire croire que je prétendais avoir acheté le glyphosate en 2005 (c'était une erreur d'interprétation d'un code barre)... 🙄🤮

S'il n'a que ces arguments pour se raccrocher aux branches, cela confirme que notre dossier est solide.

🦠 Emulsion technique boosts plant growth with bacteria

phys.org/news/2025-03-emulsion

phys.orgEmulsion technique boosts plant growth with bacteriaResearchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens. The technique opens the door to creating a wide range of crop applications that allow farmers to make use of these beneficial bacteria in conjunction with agrochemicals. The paper, "Pickering Emulsion for Enhanced Viability of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria and Combined Delivery of Agrochemicals and Biologics," is published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

Update. "Leaked Memo Reveals Insane Ban on Words Agriculture Department Can Say"
newrepublic.com/post/193395/ag

"A leaked memo from the U.S. Department of #Agriculture’s Research Service division revealed Sunday that the agency has banned some key language from its vocabulary, including the words “climate” and “vulnerable,” as well as the phrase “safe drinking water.” Other baffling entries on the memo’s banned language list are “greenhouse gas emissions,” “methane emissions,” “sustainable construction,” “solar energy,” and “geothermal,” as well as “nuclear energy,” “diesel,” “affordable housing,” “prefabricated housing,” “runoff,” “microplastics,” “water pollution,” “soil pollution,” “groundwater pollution,” “sediment remediation,” “water collection,” “water treatment,” “rural water,” and “clean water,” among dozens of others."
