Australia’s first genetically modified fruit is ripe for a taste test. Could it avert a global banana apocalypse?
It's the world's most popular fruit, but the Cavendish banana is at risk of being wiped out. Queensland scientists say they may have the answer.
The banana in question, dubbed QCAV-4, was granted final approval for human consumption by the Australian government in April. But at that time none of the 47 GM Cavendish banana plants produced by the Queensland University of Technology's banana biotechnology program were bearing fruit.

Parts of their plantation are affected by the potentially devastating disease.

'Every time the planes pass, my eyes burn': the hidden cost of Costa Rican bananas
Pesticides banned in the EU are still used in the Central American country, affecting workers and ecosystems, all to meet the demand for 'perfect' fruit in the west.
Among the pesticides found in the blood of local women and children, are chlorothalonil and mancozeb - two fungicides associated with potential carcinogenic effects - as well as chlorpyrifos, known for its neurotoxic effects on children, and neonicotinoids, a type of insecticide which can hinder neurological development.
Many of these agrochemicals are banned in Europe but continue to be produced and exported to countries such as Costa Rica, where they help to meet market demands for the kind of aesthetically perfect bananas sold worldwide.
A banana worker prepares chemicals to be applied with a backpack sprayer.Ê
According to an inter-university study (Costa Rica, Germany and Sweden), 79 molecules are used in banana cultivation for 818 marketed products.
Of these, the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) has identified 10, widely used in the country, which are particularly harmful to human beings and the environment. In particular, Mancozeb, Chlorpyrifos, Carbendazim, Chlorothalonil, defined by the IARC as potential carcinogens and endocrine disruptors, are banned in EU countries although they are still exported by European companies to Costa Rica.

An airplane used by banana companies to apply pesticides flies over the town of Bataan, in the Matina Canton. The sky of the town, surrounded by plantations, is crossed daily by planes applying pesticides for the big fruit brands such as Chiquita, Del Monte, Dole, Acon, Fyffes. According to an international study published in 2022, the fungicide Mancozeb is the most used product: approximately 1 application per week for a total of 67kg/ha per year of product applied. According to a 2022 United Nations study, pesticides from the carbamate group, including mancozeb, may be involved in the genesis of diseases such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism; they may be linked to rheumatoid arthritis, melanoma, Hodgking's lymphoma, non-Hodgking's lymphoma, brain tumor and central nervous system tumor. Of this group, the link with cancer stands out.

The air analyzes conducted within the IDA la Victoria school by the IRET (Regional Institute for Studies on Toxic Substances) found 8 different organophosphate pesticides, with very high concentrations especially of Diazinon, Chlorpyrifos. The latter product is banned by the EU but European companies continue to export it to third countries such as Costa Rica.

'Every time the planes pass, my eyes burn': the hidden cost of Costa Rican bananas
Pesticides banned in the EU are still used in the Central American country, affecting workers and ecosystems, all to meet the demand for 'perfect' fruit in the west.
Among the pesticides found in the blood of local women and children, are chlorothalonil and mancozeb - two fungicides associated with potential carcinogenic effects - as well as chlorpyrifos, known for its neurotoxic effects on children, and neonicotinoids, a type of insecticide which can hinder neurological development.
Many of these agrochemicals are banned in Europe but continue to be produced and exported to countries such as Costa Rica, where they help to meet market demands for the kind of aesthetically perfect bananas sold worldwide.
A banana worker loads a bunch of bananas weighing an average of 80 kilograms on his shoulders. Banana racimos are then hung from a pulley system pushed by hand from the field to the canning plant where the fruit is selected, washed, treated and finally packaged. According to the SEPSA statistical bulletin (Secretar’a Ejecutiva de Planificaci—n Sectorial Agropecuaria -2022) the laborers who harvest or prune the plants are paid less than 2 and a half euros per hour for 10-12 hours of work per day. Workers who apply pesticides work fewer hours and are paid more (around 3 euros an hour). It is common for field workers to come into contact with pesticides, developing acute pathologies such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fainting, dermatitis, burning eyes.

Cambodia is combating its landmine problem - with rats.
After more than two decades of civil war, the kingdom is one of the most landmine-affected countries in the world.
Now they hope to sniff away their past thanks to rodents that are able to detect the buried threats.
Photojournalist Claudio Montesano Casillas visited the affected area this month (April) to capture the so-called Hero Rats in action.

Fruit and veg as art - Nov 2015

An artist has created a series of quirky images using everyday objects.
In the photos an airplane made from carrots can be seen, along with an 'apple' watch, a panda made from rice and a dog made from eggs.
Domenic Bahmann is a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer living in Australia.
For Domenic, discovering new things (whether they are silly, funny, clever or ridiculous), is what makes life so exciting.
Domenic said: "Making use of everyday objects in my creations taught me to look at things differently.
"There is something magic in transforming seemingly mundane everyday objects into something new. It has improved my ability to day-dream and it is a skill everyone can try to practice."
