In Florida, the largest producer of sugar in the US, farmers commonly burn sugarcane fields before harvesting, leading to significant smoke clouds that affect nearby residents' health.
Burning sugarcane fields is a practice employed to ease the harvesting process, but it poses serious health risks to the communities living close to those fields.
Brazil, the world's largest sugar producer, has successfully transitioned to non-burning harvesting methods, raising the question of whether the US can adopt similar environmentally friendly practices.
Residents near Florida's sugarcane fields have expressed concerns about the adverse health effects caused by the smoke, prompting a discussion on harvesting practices.
