Argentine courts have issued significant rulings regarding the proximity of agrochemical and phytosanitary applications to populated areas. In Santa Fe, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation finalized an eight-year legal battle by upholding a 1,000-meter exclusion zone for terrestrial spraying around the urban area of Sastre y Ortiz. The ruling follows a collective environmental injunction initiated in 2018 by residents concerned about public health and environmental protection. In a separate case in the town of French, Buenos Aires, the Administrative Litigation Chamber of San MartÃn has upheld an injunction requiring a precautionary measure prohibiting the cessation of terrestrial phytosanitary applications application of pesticides within one thousand meters of populated areas. This ruling also mandates the provision of safe drinking water, free from arsenic and agrochemicals, to the local population. In both these instances, the judiciary has prioritized the human right to health and a healthy environment over commercial and productive interests, applying the principles of prevention and precaution. These decisions reaffirm established distance standards for agricultural applications near residential zones, highlighting an ongoing legal and social debate regarding the agro-industrial model and the protection of rural communities.
