French farmers are planning to block highways around Paris from Monday to push the French parliament to adopt a bill that would loosen restrictions on pesticide and water use in farming. The country's main farming unions want to pressure MPs into re-authorising neonicotinoids, a neurotoxic insecticide accused of causing massive bee and pollinator die-offs.
