PAN AP Monograph on Glyphosate Featured
Very aggressive public relations and marketing by its developer, Monsanto, has resulted in the widespread belief that glyphosate is ‘safe’. Registration processes have generally supported this attitude, and there are no national or international bans. However, independent scientific studies and widespread poisonings in Latin America (resulting from aerial application) are beginning to reveal the true effects of glyphosate-based herbicides. Now France’s Supreme Court has upheld judgements by two previous courts that “Monsanto falsely advertised its herbicide as ‘biodegradable’ and claimed it ‘left the soil clean’” (Anon 2009).
