GlyphosateGlyphosate is a sustainable crop choice used by farmers to safeguard our food supply for the future.
It's obvious that the world's populations are increasing. The world is projected to have 9.7 billion people by 2050.1 However, the area of land that can be used for agriculture around the globe isn't expanding at the same pace as ours. This creates serious problems for farmers, who must produce enough food of high quality to feed Canadians as well as other people all over the world.

Canada is the fifth largest exporter of food globally.2 Canadian farmers are expected to play a crucial role in supplying the world the food that it requires. They will not only have to cater for more people than ever before, they'll have to do it while they fight off diseases and pests that threaten their crops, manage unpredictable changes in weatherconditions, and ensure that their soil is solid and healthy for the next generation of farmers to be.

To meet growing demand, the farmers will have to produce 70 per cent more food in 2050. *Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. How to provide food for the world by 2050

The increasing demand for food is just too to be handled by farmers by themselves. Technology and tools of the present, such as herbicides such as glyphosate can be used to help farmers effectively and precisely manage weeds, which results in a more secure and sustainable food supply.

Glyphosate is a versatile and non-selective herbicide, is used by land managers, gardeners and farmers all over the world for more than 40 years. It is a chemical that induces an enzyme required by plants to grow, in this case unwanted herbicides. Glyphosate is completely safe for animals and people if employed correctly.

Glyphosate is also used for other reasons than just agriculture. It is used in municipalities to safeguard the public and wildlife against harmful weeds.6 In addition, it is used to prevent fires and maintain visibility on railway tracks.

More recently there's been an increased awareness of glyphosate and its use in our daily lives. It's crucial to consider the ingredients that we consume. However, over 160 health regulatory bodies around the world including Health Canada agree that glyphosate is safe when used properly.

Canadians will be better equipped to comprehend the effects of glyphosate and how it functions, and why it is vital to the production of food.

グリホサート Glyphosate is a pesticide that can be used in the field of agriculture.

Glyphosate-based herbicides can be used in the field of agriculture, benefiting farmers, consumers, the environment, and everyone else. This is essential for effective herbicide control, safe food supply, as well as sustainable development of the environment. Let's explore each of the benefits.

In the world farmers are losing 30-40 percent of their crops due to pests, weeds, and disease.9 Without the use of techniques to protect their crops the losses could increase by as much as 80% according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. It's a tragic loss especially for farmers, when you consider that the crops are their main source of income.

So, it's no wonder farmers have come to rely on the tools they rely on, year in and year out. Glyphosate can be used to treat crops that are resistant to glyphosate. This is a proven method for controlling destructive herbicides.

Crops against. weeds--the battle of their existence

Glyphosate is an herbicide that can give crops a chance.

Canadians and other shoppers around the world reap the benefits of abundant, affordable food

The population is increasing and half the food-growing land in Canada is in danger of being unusable within 40 years.10 This is leading us to a greater risk of food security issues. グリホサート Canadians might be paying 55% higher for food, if they do not have modern agricultural techniques like Glyphosate.

Additionally, it would become increasingly difficult to obtain the food that we enjoy. Thanks to plant science but, the farmers will be able sustainably grow more of our most-loved staple foods for long time to be.

Glyphosate is a great herbicide to help control the growth of weeds as well as maintain the quality of produce at the grocery shop. Glyphosate can also be used by farmers to take care of what Cherilyn Joy-Nagle, a resident of Mossbank in Saskatchewan calls "their greatest asset"--their land.

We are awestruck by eating at the table.

Farmers can prosper with the use of crop protection tools, for example, glyphosate. It protects crops from pests and disease.

42% more grain, similar to wheat and corn

72 percent more fruit

83 percent more vegetables and potatoes12

The benefits are obvious. Can glyphosate be used safely?

Yes. As with all pesticides, it must always be used according to the instructions on the label. Canada regulates the use of glyphosate by two organizations that are the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA) that examines the crops and ensures that they are free from pesticide residue. The Pest Management and Regulation Agency (PMRA) provides the regulations and guidelines as well as product evaluations for submissions.

Regulators ensure that farmers utilize approved herbicides in a secure and responsible method. It is up to farmers and manufacturers to ensure that there aren't negative effects for the environment, animals, and even humans.

Technology advancements and precision agriculture lets farmers use data to make precise applications of glyphosate. This includes the location and amount.

It is extremely rare for pesticide residues to be present in food items. However, it could still cause harm if it is. It is uncommon to find glyphosate on food.

Glyphosate use as part of sustainable practices in agriculture

Farmers use herbicides like glyphosate as part of an integrated pest/weed control practices. That is, they use more than just herbicides to control the weeds. Glyphosate has allowed them to adopt conservation-tillage / non-till practices that provide long-term benefits for the soil, the air and the environment.

- Elimination or reduction of plowing/tilling land

To cut CO2 emissions

Capturing carbon out of the soil

- Improving soil health

- Reducing water flow and limiting erosion13

"No pesticide regulator authority anywhere in the world is currently assessing the glyphosate chemical a cancer risk for humans at the present levels to which they are exposed." - Health Canada, January 11 2019.

グリホサート It is more important than ever making sure Canadian farmers have all the tools, technology and assistance they require in order to supply the increasing food needs of a growing populace.

We can expect farmers to keep preserving the quality and safety of our food by using safe food and agricultural protection and insect control practices. Glyphosate is only one of numerous tools they'll use in order to make sure that Canadians and others around the globe have access to nutritious and affordable food now and in the future.
