Reunion consumes (a lot) of pesticides but seeks to get rid of the habit
Réunion is the overseas department consuming the most pesticides, reveals the NGO Générations in a study published in early January 2025. According to these figures, in 2022, local farmers purchased 67.7 tonnes of pesticides including more than 20 tonnes of glyphosate . However, these data should be taken with caution. Since 2019, the use of phytosanitary products has started to decrease. The decline reached nearly 22% in 2024. “Farmers are looking for solutions adapted to local constraints” comments the FDSEA, the main agricultural union on the island.
The National Assembly on Tuesday almost unanimously deleted a provision from the emergency bill to rebuild Mayotte which, under the guise of promoting development or rehousing projects, would have facilitated expropriations on the island ravaged by the Cyclone Chido.
Cité des Arts: here the 2025 program
-The team from the Cité des Arts, Château Morange and Banyan – Contemporary Art Center, grouped together within the local public company (SPL) Territo’Arts, presented a “rich and diverse” program. . With nearly 80 creative residencies and a dense program of shows for the next 6 months, the Cité des Arts intends to live up to its name.
The 9th Reading Nights, organized for the fourth consecutive year by the National Book Center at the suggestion of the Ministry of Culture, will be held from January 23 to 26, 2025 over four evenings. This year, the public is invited to come together during thousands of physical and digital events around the theme of heritage.
