Abstract

The environmental crisis revealed by climate change translates into droughts, floods, fires, increase in temperature and sea level, food crisis, and behind this reality is human action, exacerbated in the Anthropocene. At the same time, in Brazil, there is evidence of the use of an environmentally destructive economic model for the production of commodities for export, and one of the characteristics of this model is the intensive use of pesticides, which, in turn, extrapolate the agribusiness environment and reach the food crops. Since one of the main premises of journalism is its commitment to the public interest, a movement of debate on these issues is not perceived in the hegemonic media, nor a commitment to clarify the population on these issues.
