What happened in St. George?
In view of complaints made by residents of San Jorge on the health problems suffered as a result delusa of agrochemicals in the area, the Appeals Chamber of the town of San Jorge applied precautionary unprincipio for neighbors. The same applies for UNL to make a report queanalizara "the degree of toxicity" of glyphosate and other chemicals.
Before this court order, the UNL parasolicitarle took three months to judge what type of analysis should focus on cuálesagroquímicos and within 6 months that was not enough lesotorgaba.
In the brief filed by the UNL reminds the judge that lapresidenta Cristina Fernandez created in the month of January 2009 nacionald Research Commission to study the problems caused poragroquímicos, and that the body produced through the Committee Ethics delConicet and ad hoc Interdisciplinary Scientific Council, a análisisvinculado to study the effects of glyphosate and its formulated for human and environmental lasalud.
In short, the first response nuestraUniversidad was kicking the ball to the national government rather than ponergrupos research laboratories and lapoblación knowledge available in this case, of St. George.
Finally, the report presented by the UNL signed by Daniel Scacchi (Director Cetri Litoral) and Eduardo Matozo (Secretary of VinculaciónTecnológica) was limited to only collect technical data (chemical, ecological, biological, medical) without contributions from social sciences to enable brindenelementos understand the problem from a social, political, environmental and economic.

If these are the policies followed nuestrafacultad and UNL, it is not surprising that when it comes to being able to contribute as part of the state to take a precautionary measure on glyphosate opt out.

A sovereign country choose elmonocultivo sustain its economy?
In our country there is a policy designed racionalmentepara serious use of natural resources, the soil, mining or elagua. Mainly because those resources or assets are being exploited nopor national needs but by the need to participate in a mercadointernacional consuming these products. Such participation, as a consequence of current holdings, problems ranging from environmental to cultural lobiológico and economy.

For all this, comointegrantes of this University, we are obliged to start undebate broad and inclusive, seeking to recover the autonomy of the people regarding the decision-making forms of life you want for your region, because We believe that this is the first and only change to achieve the national autonomíastanto like all Latin American countries.
