A win for collective over corporate power!
But Syngenta's exit is also a warning. We need a global ban & must refuse regrettable substitutions if we do not want to replace 1 source of harm w/ another.

Guinea-Bissau’s transitional government bans fish meal production BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau β€” This small West African nation, whose mangrove-fringed coastal waters and expansive estuaries are important spawning grounds for fish species that migrate along the West…

As neighbors tightened controls, Guinea-Bissau emerged as a regional fish meal hub. Chinese-owned factory vessels began arriving in 2019, and new onshore plants soon followed.

But on Jan. 29, the govt abruptly banned fish meal production, citing threats to marine ecosystems and food security.
