Germany to ban glyphosate use

All those ministers acquired shares of agro-companies outside the eu?

Do Glyphosate Kill Insects? The insects die from the alternative used for glyphosate, which is burning weeds.
When only Glyphosate is sold on prescription in combination with a spraying license, the product can remain as usual and the use is immediately significantly reduced.

This product contaminates the soil and pollutes drinking water.
It is also deadly to ground life. A good decision to make this kind
prohibit resources. The Netherlands can take an example of this
The Netherlands can start taxing these resources with extra excise duties and giving the proceedsi to drinking water companies.

Ban as soon as possible. Bad for humans and animals.
Killing nature is what we achieve with it.
Future generations will continue to suffer the consequences for years to come. Shame!

and equally ban all medicines: are also polluting.

Medicines, like food, are unnecessary: ​​the person who takes them will die anyway.

I have weeds between the tiles in front yard, whatever I tried it came back and good too. Not normal anymore, it made me sick of it. Have now used roundup with glyphosate, and finally nothing more. Abolition would be good for humans and animals, but I think exceptions should be possible

Only for touching potato storage. Ban the rest and immediately please!

it has not yet been proven Rudi that future generations will suffer from this, so we are not going to lie here

will the ignorant green trees of penitentiating citizens then stop whining, if the admission is not extended? if so, that may take it away from me... but i fear the worst in here
Netherlands. factories, sorters

rule the market and squeeze you out. citizens say how to farm. respect is far away. the farmer has to go. politics is sick and lost.

There are no weeds between the rail, weird. and we will also stop all soy maize and wheat that has been sprayed with glyphosate. I myself only use it to touch potatoes, not at all

in the wheat such a thing does not belong !! for other weeds and spraying pasture, it may remain, or sell new Plows again and allow them to plow, then it is no longer necessary on pasture!

Ban all GBM, but then in the whole world, then there will be hunger. half the world dies either from war or from starvation. We have to accept that. But as long as it's the neighbor and not yourself.....

Another pointless decision by politicians without practical experience. It's going to be a huge weed mess without glyphosate. Banning rat poison will also have a huge impact on people with land or a company in the countryside larger than a balcony. I won't change a thing no matter how loud they scream in the city.

The bad thing is that the kinder you farm for your soil, the more roundup you need, we used to plow quite deeply and now with shallow or no plowing we have much more weeds, also due to the loss of many other resources or strange permissions. If, for example, I could spray mcpa in my grass green manure (difficult with that greening), then later on there would be no need for roundup for the thistles.

85 scientific studies have been published all 85 studies I have studied in detail still can't get the truth out whether roundup - glyphosate causes damage. a conclusion can be drawn from the instructions for use and labels prescriptions are not carried out is a chore for staff

That they also forbid the two largest poisons in nature to consume, namely Nicotine and alcohol.
How many people die from it per year (excessive)
use those toxins

The biggest problem is the private use!!!
As a farmer, I don't understand what a private person should do with 20 liter glyphosate buses???

Spray 2 to 2,25 liters per hectare, there would be citizens with gardens of 10 hectares or more.

To clarify 1 hectare is 10000 square meters

See too often cans of 20 liters offered on the internet or Facebook. Normal 360 Gr/ltr

Two gardeners who worked for us have been suffering from cancer from glyphosate for 5 years. The drug is found in the urine of people - especially men because they use it more often; in the meat and fat of cows - it comes along with soy in their diet. It cannot be removed by washing off eg. fruits, by freezing or cooking. In the US, a gardener has received a huge amount of money through legal process because he had proven cancer through this drug. An acquaintance of mine has worked for Monsanto and admits that long-term and intensive use leads to cancer for humans and what it does to nature has never been investigated by the company. Keep spraying with blinders on. Success with it.
There are more and more arable farmers who manage without spraying. How are they doing then?

@ Irene The number of road deaths in 2018 was 678, so according to you we should ban cars. Due to the use of Soy Oil by humans and soy by vegans, the waste product soybean meal is fed to pigs and chickens and not to cows, which eat grass and corn. In the urine of humans we do not find Glyphosate but AMPA which is one of the breakdown products of Glyphosate The concentrations were 1000 times lower than the
European limit and 3500 times lower than the WHO limit.
Glyphosate is on the WHO list 2A as is overtime, which is probably the cause among the gardeners. Do some fact finding before getting involved in such discussions.

All farmers and gardeners back to the field for alms but pay something for our products and labor oh no

The dawdling about a ban is making you hopeless.

@irene. Have you also checked the reports on exposure to the magnetic waves (cell phone, microwave,...)? More scientific studies agree that it is harmful to humans and animals than the conclusions regarding glyphosate. So why not ban that stuff too?
Not to mention the container shipping (20 largest ships emit more sulfur than all cars combined) then also ban world trade? agriculture is always a mess because we work so openly in nature, you can't just go and take a look in a polluting factory.

The environmentalists then light up a nice cigarette while they drive their stinking car to Schiphol and travel there with the stinky plane to a distant destination to sip a delicious wine in the beautiful nature that has been taken from the local population, served by locals who are happy with 1 portion of decent food a day and to say how beautiful this is and it doesn't even cost that much.

Logical if you consider that most round-up ready or liberty crops are grown in Canada and South America.

This means that a crop is not susceptible to spraying with glyphosate. So they can apply glyphosate there several times per crop with increasingly higher doses.

This technique is prohibited in the Netherlands and the EU. But this cheap soy and corn will be imported. Our Minister Schouten allows all of that.

So think if several people start eating Vegan, the residues of glyphosate will be found more and more. So everyone just stick to the fried chicken and other meat. From European grown raw materials, field bean can replace soya very well in my opinion. And the broiler chicken is the least harmful to the environment.

How many people die from smoking, alcohol and drugs?
It's easy to blame others! Improve the world and start with yourself. Of course, good studies on harmful effects are of great importance! But the results must be based on the truth! But if one can no longer fight the weeds properly, it is a very big drama! Think carefully about the consequences!

No glyphosate in the urine of French farmers
It was found in the urine of MEPs and well-known French people: the herbicide glyphosate. It can be found everywhere, in the air, the water, the soil, human bodies. But is that true? Eighteen French farmers tested their urine. None of them had glyphosate in them. How is that possible? Foodlog asked.
One after the other French mayor invokes the precautionary principle and forbids the spraying of pesticides around homes. On Tuesday, the tenth mayor in a row, of the small town of Murles in the Pic Saint Loup wine region in the Hérault, also ordered a spray ban in her municipality. Murles puts the health of the 300 inhabitants village above the interests of the agricultural sector, in this case the winegrowers. Public health comes first. Although the administrative judge whistled back the mayor of Langouët, who was the first to introduce a spray ban within 150 meters of homes in his municipality, the trend among mayors has been set. They don't care.

In Germany, the central government is now taking action. On Wednesday, German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze announced that Germany will implement a four-year ban on glyphosate. The drug will be banned completely from 2024. The German government is implementing a package of measures to reduce insect mortality, including the ban on glyphosate.

All the more striking is the press conference organized by 18 Breton farmers. Like parliamentarians and famous personalities, they also had their urine tested for glyphosate. The result: zero point zero.


On Twitter, Foodlog commentator Ellen-Maureen Colpa appeared to be on the right track. The methodology used and, to a lesser extent, the laboratory where the test takes place, play a role that should not be underestimated.



"Actually, the test methods are not comparable," says Aalt Bast, professor of toxicology at Maastricht University. "The Elisa test that Générations Futures used, among others, is accessible, but not very specific and selective. An excellent test in itself, but one that can generate many false positive results. The test that the French farmers used, chromatography, is much more specific and sensitive. With that method you can be sure that no glyphosate could indeed be isolated from the urine samples."

Farmers in Europe are increasingly concerned about the rapid disappearance of plant protection products without green products being replaced.

Glyphosphate is prohibited on pavements. this in connection with rinsing and then entering groundwater through the bottom. In the countries where GMO crops are grown . glyphosate is the only weed agent sprayed. We are waiting for resistant weeds . And then we're back at the beginning.
