Notes

GlyphosateGlyphosate is a sustainable crop option that farmers can use to safeguard our food supply in the future.
It's obvious that the world's populations are increasing. The world's population is expected to grow to 9.7 billion by 2050.1 Unfortunately, this is not happening on farmable land. This presents serious challenges to farmers, who are accountable to produce enough high-quality food for Canadians and other countries all over the world.

Canada is currently fifth in the world's food exports.2 Canadian farmers will play crucial roles in providing the food we need. They will not only have to cater for more people than they have ever had to, but they will have to do it while they fight off diseases and pests which threaten their crops. They will also have to cope with unpredictable shifts in weatherconditions, and ensure their land is kept solid and healthy for the next generation of farmers to be.

In order for the population to increase 70 percent more food will be required by 2050. *Source The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations How to provide food for the world by 2050.

グリホサート Farmers are unable to meet this growing demand by themselves. Modern technology, like herbicides and glyphosate, are able to aid farmers in controlling the weeds effectively and efficiently. This results in a more sustainable and stable food supply.

What is glyphosate? And how is it used?

Glyphosate is a multi-purpose, non-selective herbicide that is used by farmers, land managers and gardeners across the globe for over 40 years. http://www.fsc.go.jp/emerg/inryousui_glyphosate.pdf Glyphosate works by blocking the enzymes that plants, specifically unwanted weeds, need to develop. These enzymes aren't present in humans or animals.4 Therefore, when applied properly, glyphosate is not a risk to either.5

Glyphosate is used in many different ways in addition to agriculture. It is also used in green areas of municipal parks to shield wildlife from toxic weeds.6 The glyphosate can also be utilized on railway lines to improve safety and visibility as well as to prevent fires.

Glyphosate's use and use have been the subject of greater interest in recent times. Although it's essential to know what's in our food, it's worth noting that over 160 international health regulatory bodies including Health Canada, agree that the safe use of glyphosate for humans can be properly done.

Canadians need to be better aware of glyphosate and the ways it is utilized. This will alleviate their worries.

Glyphosate can be used to increase the yield of crops.

Glyphosate-based herbicides benefit farmers, consumers, and the environment. グリホサート It is key to effective control of weeds, a safe food supply and environmental sustainability. Let's look at each of these advantages in more in depth.

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization the loss could increase to as high as double if they're not secured. This is particularly damaging for farmers because these crops are their livelihood.

It's not surprising that farmers have come to rely on tools each year. Glyphosate is a powerful method to control destructive weeds in fields, particularly those that are resistant to glyphosate.

Crops vs. Weeds: the battle for their existence

Glyphosate is a herbicide which gives crops a fighting chance.

Benefits to Canadians and consumers worldwide Benefits to Canadians and consumers worldwide: plentiful, affordable food

The population is increasing and half the food-growing land in Canada is in danger of becoming unusable in 40 years.10 This is leading to more food insecurity. Canadians will pay less than 55% for food if there are no modern farming innovations such as the use of glyphosate.11

And, not only that the food we love eating are becoming more difficult to obtain. Farmers will be able to cultivate more of the foods that we love for a long time thanks to the science of plants.

Glyphosate can do more than reduce weeds. It can also help keep food prices down at the grocery. It also helps farmers take care of what Cherilyn Jolly Nagle who is an Saskatchewan farmer who calls "their most valuable asset" that is their land.

Keep foods we love on our tables

Farmers can grow better when crops protection devices (including glyphosate) are used to safeguard crops from pests or diseases.

42% more grains, like corn and wheat

72% more fruit

83 percent more potatoes and vegetables

The benefits are clear. グリホサート But is glyphosate safe?

Simply put Yes, and like all pesticides, they should be used according to instructions on the label. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) examines the crops for residues of pesticides and makes sure farmers are using it correctly. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), provides regulatory guidelines, evaluations of submissions to the product, approvals (or rejections) and has one of the strictest assessment processes in the world.

And while regulatory agencies ensure farmers use approved herbicides properly producers and farmers have a significant role to play in ensuring glyphosate is used properly and safely so that no unintended harm is posed to the animals, the environment or human.

A combination of technology improvements and precision agriculture lets farmers use data to create precise applications of glyphosate. This includes where and how much.

It is extremely rare for residues of pesticides will be discovered on food. It is extremely rare to find glyphosate in food items.

Sustainable farming practices include the use of Glyphosate

In an integrated pest/weed control system, farmers use herbicides like glyphosate. They utilize multiple herbicides to fight weeds. Glyphosate enabled farmers to use conservation techniques and no-till methods to provide long-term benefit for the soil and air.

- Eliminated or reduced plowing or tilling

to reduce CO2 emissions

- Capturing carbon from the soil

- Improving soil's health

- Reducing runoff from water and limiting erosion13

"No pesticide regulator around the globe considers the glyphosate ingredient to pose the risk of cancer to humans at current exposure levels." -- Health Canada (January 11, 2019).

It's more crucial than ever to ensure that Canadian farmers have access to the latest technology tools, equipment, and support tools needed to supply the food requirements of an increasing population.

グリホサート Food safety, good agricultural practices, and pest management methods will help farmers continue to protect our food supply. Glyphosate is only one of the many tools they'll employ to make sure that Canadians and others around the world have access to nutritious and affordable food both now and in the near future.
