4　飢えのない平和な世界の構築を目指して　化学者の立場から見た構造的暴力としての農薬問題

抄録

Starting with the issue of chemical weapons such as sarin and the involvement of scientists in their development, various types of structural violence brought on by pesticides are discussed; in particular, the severe negative influences on the brain development of children caused by a newly introduced pesticide-neonicotinoidare focused upon.

Finally, examples of overcoming this type of violence through organic farming are introduced, some of which could bring peace without hunger to this troubled world.
