The recent retraction of peer-reviewed research claiming glyphosate is safe confirms what Indigenous communities have said for years.
A study argues that the use of glyphosate produces a slow form of chemical violence that suffocates people, ecosystems and ways of life. This violence forces riverside communities to leave and makes way for soya to advance.
A recent study of nearly 200 European wheat farms found 73 different pesticides – including in organic fields.
The Federal Court has dismissed a class action against the makers of Roundup, saying there’s not enough evidence the active ingredient, glyphosate, causes cancer.
If you’re worried about pollution in the air we breathe, water we drink and food we eat, take time out to explore the evidence of harm and digest some practical advice on how to reduce your exposure.
Mexico waffles on glyphosate ban but support for Agroecology stays strong.
New research provides evidence for the first time that the primary chemical in Roundup is reaching people in nearby homes, and it isn’t just from the food they eat.
Canada is long-overdue for scientifically-driven, robust and transparent pesticide regulation. A newly created Science Advisory Committee aims to address this.
It’s a plant that is nearly impossible to obliterate, but new research reveals the best way of tackling Japanese knotweed in the most sustainable way.
The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer convenes a panel of scientific experts to review available evidence on whether specific chemicals or occupational exposures may cause cancer.
Farmers are stuck in a chemical war against weeds, which have developed resistance to many widely used herbicides. Seed companies’ answer – using more varied herbicides – is causing new problems.
Roundup may be taking a beating in the US, where three juries have concluded that it gave plaintiffs cancer, but it’s still widely used around the globe.
The amount of alcohol you’d have to drink before glyphosate posed even a negligible risk would harm you well before the glyphosate would.
Digital innovations have the potential to empower farmers and revolutionise agriculture, but many could also lock them in to unsustainable methods.
