In France: our demands

The 10 concrete demands of our action campaign to stop pesticides and defend peasant agriculture in France

  1. 1. Support for farms transitioning to agroecology. Public policies, particularly the CAP 2028-2034, must support agricultural practices that respect health, soil and biodiversity and support employment. No public funds should go to deadly agriculture;
  2. 2. The establishment of guaranteed minimum prices that aim to prohibit food distributors from purchasing agricultural products below cost price, which includes charges, labor remuneration and social protection;
  3. 3. The implementation of the decision rendered on September 3, 2025 by the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal requiring the re-evaluation of pesticide approval procedures due to their disastrous environmental and health impact;
  4. 4. The effective ban of carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic substances and endocrine disruptors;
  5. 5. The abandonment of the Duplomb 2 bill, the omnibus directive project and the distancing of the agrochemical lobby from public policy decision spaces;
  6. 6. Broader recognition of occupational diseases and reparations for agricultural workers sick from pesticide use;
  7. 7. The guarantee of full and complete social protection for all agrochemical employees, victims or exposed to the risks of their activity and protective support measures for the reconversion of their sectors of activity;
  8. 8. The cessation of exports of pesticides banned in Europe to other continents, reparations for victims of chlordecone in the West Indies, paraquat in French Guiana, or malathion in Te Ao Maohi - Polynesia, decontamination and restitution of lands seized by the empire constituted by the Bernard Hayot group (GBH);
  9. 9. The refusal of new GMOs from New Genomic Techniques (NGT) and patented seed varieties that lead to the privatization of life at the expense of peasant agriculture and food autonomy of populations;
  10. 10. The immediate protection of all water catchment points and waterways, as well as the decontamination of soils and natural environments

In Switzerland: our demands

On October 3, 2026, we are also converging on Basel and Monthey. Taking up and extending the demands long carried by civil society organisations, we call for:

At the national level, to Syngenta and the federal authorities

  1. 1. the immediate cessation, at the Monthey site, of the production and export of pesticides banned in Switzerland and the EU because of their risks to health and the environment;
  2. 2. a commitment to end the marketing of highly hazardous pesticides worldwide, with a clearly defined plan and binding deadlines;
  3. 3. the immediate end of all procedural obstruction of the rights of public authorities, and funding for the clean-up of Lake Geneva's waters, in application of the polluter-pays principle;
  4. 4. a ban on the export of all pesticides whose use is banned in Switzerland because of their effects on health or the environment;
  5. 5. the inclusion of substances recognised as dangerous in the revision of the water protection ordinance;
  6. 6. the resumption and sustainable funding of research into the health impact of PFAS and pesticides;
  7. 7. the exclusion of agrochemical lobbyists from official Swiss delegations to the COP, and the introduction of transparent selection criteria;
  8. 8. active support for the agroecological transition by guaranteeing a real farming income: ending pesticide use must not come at the expense of those who feed the country

For the Monthey site

  1. 1. Transparency: Syngenta must publish the list of all substances and products manufactured at the Monthey site;
  2. 2. End of production for export of banned substances: immediately stop producing for export all pesticides banned in Switzerland;
  3. 3. Compensation for damages and the polluter-pays principle: Syngenta must release the funds needed to clean up the drinking water distributed around Lake Geneva, currently paid for by local authorities, including for damage caused abroad;
  4. 4. End of democratic obstruction: Syngenta must stop obstructing, through procedural appeals and by blocking access to information, the democratic rights of public authorities and their ability to protect their drinking water;
  5. 5. to the Valais Council of State: compensation for the municipalities that must clean up their water, the canton having failed in its duty of oversight;
  6. 6. to the Federal Council: the resumption of research into the health impact of PFAS and pesticides
