The Center for Food and Adequate Living Rights (CEFROHT) hosts a Bertha challenge fellow Mr. Kabanda David under the Bertha Foundation. Under this fellowship, Mr. Kabanda delivered a documentary film as a product. The film highlights the inaction and illegal actions in the food system and specifically unpacks unregulated agrochemical use in agro-input shops, gardens, markets and restaurants. The film reflects agroecology and organic agriculture as a sustainable solution to a healthy food system.
The investigative film relies on research indicating the toxicity of active ingredients in agrochemicals for instance mancozeb, which the European Union found it appropriate not to renew its approval.[1]
