Le glyphosate est l’herbicide le plus utilisé au monde. C’est aussi un mot qui génère d’intenses passions dès qu’il est prononcé. Une étude menée par des scientifiques du Cirad en Martinique montre que l’usage du glyphosate entraine une baisse de la biodiversité dans les champs. Pire, il favorise les espèces exotiques au détriment d’espèces natives, ce qui n’avait jamais été démontré avant chez des animaux.
Okay, le tournant terfico-complotiste de Ségolène Royal, j'avoue, je ne m'y attendais pas (pas plus à ce qu'elle soit une alliée), mais il est bien claqué.
All in the name of corporate profits. Human health is irrelevant. The EPA serves BigBiz:
'But this week, the EPA said that despite the court ruling, it will still allow millions of gallons of dicamba to be sprayed this growing season.'
French insurance companies slam EU re-authorisation of glyphosate as repeat of asbestos scandal
In the light of the re-authorisation of #glyphosate in the #EU, the leaders of forty French mutual insurance companies have spoken out in Le Monde about the danger of repeating with #pesticides the same costly mistakes that were made with #asbestos.
Why a Canadian class action lawsuit is taking aim at a common weedkiller
Roundup, (Bayer is the owner) the brand name of a glyphosate-based herbicide that is the subject of the lawsuit, is the most commonly used herbicide in the world and has been sold across Canada since 1976 by U.S. company Monsanto. #Poison#Canada#Bayer#Glyphosate#News
"The Federal Court has heard closing submissions in a landmark lawsuit involving more than 800 people, who claim the herbicide Roundup and its key ingredient, glyphosate, is carcinogenic for humans and can cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma."
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup, is showing up in pregnant women living near farm fields – that raises health concerns
Living near farmland can significantly increase people’s exposure to #glyphosate, the active ingredient in the widely used #herbicide#Roundup, new research shows. This #chemical has been connected to health concerns, including #nonHodgkinLymphoma and a higher risk of #pretermBirth.
‘Disturbing’: #weedkiller ingredient tied to #cancer found in 80% of US urine samples
CDC study finds #glyphosate, controversial ingredient found in weedkillers including popular #Roundup brand, present in samples

"The health impacts of glyphosate are disputed and the CDC report makes no observation about what the detected levels mean in terms of human health outcomes. However, its work comes at a time of mounting concerns and controversy over how #pesticides in #food and #water impact human and #environmental health.
"Both the amount and prevalence of glyphosate found in human urine has been rising steadily since the 1990s when #Monsanto Co. introduced genetically engineered crops designed to be sprayed directly with Roundup, according to research published in 2017 by University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers.
"Paul Mills, the lead researcher of that study, said at the time there was 'an urgent need' for a thorough examination of the impact on human health from glyphosate in foods people commonly consume.
"More than 200 million pounds of glyphosate are used annually by #US#farmers on their fields. The weedkiller is sprayed directly over genetically engineered crops such as #corn and #soybeans, and also over non-genetically engineered crops such as #wheat and #oats as a desiccant to dry crops out prior to harvest. Many farmers also use it on fields before the growing season, including #spinach growers and #almond producers. It is considered the most widely used herbicide in history.
"Residues of glyphosate have been documented in an array of popular foods made with crops sprayed with glyphosate, including #BabyFood The primary route of exposure for #children is through the diet."
Mort soudaine de l’eurodeputee écolo Michèle Rivasi des suites d’une crise cardiaque avant de se rendre au Parlement européen. Elle avait fondé le Commission d'information indépendantes sur la radioactivité, au lendemain de la catastrophe nucléaire de Tchernobyl. Classée parmi les antivax depuis la crise du covid, elle militait pour plus de transparence sur le marché des vaccins https://t.co/9PtSBiRW0u
😜 On n’est pas à une contradiction près ! #glyphosate
🗄️ 2017, Emmanuel Macron tweete son fameux slogan#MakeOurPlanetGreatAgain
"J'ai demandé au gouvernement de prendre les dispositions nécessaires pour que l'utilisation du glyphosate soit interdite en France dès que des alternatives auront été trouvées et au plus tard dans 3 ans"
After months of wrangling, the #European Commission says it has decided to renew the license for the #weedkiller compound #glyphosate, approving its use in #EuropeanUnion countries for ten more years
“More than 800 Australians diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have alleged their cancer is linked to their exposure to Roundup, and are taking part in a class action against manufacturer Monsanto.”
This week with the #EUGreenDeal legislator:
🌳 Today, the Commission finally publishes its proposal for the EU #Forest Monitoring Law. Expect outcry from nordic countries + lobbies. But: it's only about monitoring, no management provisions!
☠️ Wednesday, MEPs in #EPlenary vote on the #pesticides legislation #SUR. It has been largely compromised. After the #Glyphosate debacle, we need to move on here, for our health!
