Nairobi (Kenya), 16/04/2026.- Environmentalists in protective gear symbolising toxic exposure and environmental damage shout slogans and hold placards during a demonstration at the Ministry of Agriculture Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, 16 April 2026, demanding action to protect the country’s environment and food systems from hazardous pesticides. Greenpeace Africa’s new report exposes how toxic pesticides banned in Europe are contaminating soils, water bodies and ecosystems in Kenya, and calls for an urgent transition to agroecology.
