Brazil's lower house approved on Wednesday a bill seeking to loosen controls on pesticide approvals and use in one of the world's largest agricultural producers, returning it to lawmakers in the Senate for their consideration.
The proposal has been dubbed the "Poison Bill" by critics who say it paves the way for more dangerous pesticides to be used in one of the world's top exporters of beef, chicken, soy and coffee.
Appetite for the bill has grown in recent weeks as Brazilian soy and corn producers have struggled to secure supplies of pesticides.
