Canary Islands farmer fears Mercosur trade deal will harm local agriculture

A Canary Islands farmer warns that the new Mercosur trade agreement will destroy local agriculture. Marisol Casimiro believes the agreement will flood the market with cheaper, potentially unsafe foreign food, making it impossible for Canarian farmers to compete due to stricter regulations and higher production costs. Casimiro transitioned her family farm to organic methods three years ago, facing significant hardship but finding it rewarding and essential for health and the environment.
