Product stewardship - Progress or Promises

It's about three in the morning in a little farming village near the thriving metropolis of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Miguel, a 14-year-old schoolboy is fast asleep. Miguel was worried when he climbed into bed and drew the covers up. He was concerned about his homework - not that he had not done it. But rather what he had discovered while doing it. His homework was to interview his father, a tomato farmer, about how he uses pesticides and what precautions he takes to use them safely.
