@FalhadaIman The future of East Africa's food systems must be safe, sustainable and just. Let's push for policies and laws that protect people, not profits. Today we bring a regional legislator to be part of the discussion.

Join me as a panelist in an upcoming Twitter (X) Space dialogue on Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs), scheduled for 31st March 2026, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EAT). The dialogue will be convened under the topic: "The Highly Hazardous Pesticides Crisis: Who Pays the Price?" and the theme: "A Regional Call to Action: Phasing Out Harmful Pesticides." The objective is to foster a strategic, evidence-based regional conversation that advances coordinated advocacy towards the phase-out of HHPs across East Africa.

Join CEFROHT and partners as we explore the legal pathways toward a HHP-free East Africa. 🗓️ 31st/MARCH/2026 📷 7:00PM 🔗 x.com/i/spaces/1vJpP… #CefrohtUG #AgroecologyLaw #HarvestOfHope

Several Highly Hazardous Pesticides banned in the European Union are still being manufactured and exported to @jumuiya . These chemicals are poisoning our souls and threatening the health of our people, its time to close these policy gaps.

@CefrohtUg @Greenpeace @gp_kenyagroup @ImanDekow @Afsafrica @Seedsavers_KE @pelum_uganda @slowfooduganda @ConsentUganda @FianUganda @SEATINIUGANDA And here is the injustice. Some of these Pesticides are banned in Europe but still exported to Africa. Why are African lives treated as expendables?

Agriculture is the backbone of East Africa, but highly Hazardous pesticides are becoming a growing threat quietly undermining our health, soils, and future. Join CEFROHT and partners for a vital and powerful X space conversation on Phasing out HHPs.

@MonicaNabyonga @Agroecology_Sch @FAO @FundAgroecology @Agroecology_UVM @AgroecologyGoal @GonzagaKiddu Pesticides banned in other regions are still being dumped into East Africa,putting farmers and consumers at risk every single day. This is a policy failure we must confront. Ban HHPs @CefrohtUg @ConsentUganda @jumuiya @green

Is your food safe?⚠️ The reliance on Highly Hazardous Pesticides isn't just an agricultural issue, it’s a human rights violation. We need policies that will shield #Agroecology 🗣️ Tomorrow, join @CEFROHT’s X Space: x.com/i/spaces/1vJpP…
