On April 22 we had an online discussion about child labour in agricultural hazardous work particularly using children for pesticide spraying, etc. This is a very important issue, considering the high sensitivity of children to toxic pesticide we all need to work to stop it. Unfortunately, this is a very globally wide issue and hopefully that FAO and WHO take stronger actions to stop it.
