Notes

GlyphosateGlyphosate is a choice for farmers who want to sustain their farming to ensure our food security for the long term.
The global population continues to grow. グリホサート It is no secret. We are expected to reach 9.7billion people in 2050. This is nearly two billion more than today.1 But the land that is used for agriculture in the world isn't expanding with us. Farmers who have to grow quality food products that is able to be eaten by Canadians and the rest of the world face significant challenges.

Canada is the fifth largest exporter of food globally.2 Canadian farmers are expected to play an important role in providing the world the food it needs. They will have to provide more food items than ever before.

In 2050, farmers must to produce 70% more food items to meet the demands of the population growing. *Source The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations How to provide food for the world by 2050

This increasing demand is simply too difficult for farmers to manage alone. Modern tools and technology such as herbicides such as Glyphosate, enable farmers to manage weeds effectively and accurately, which results in a more sustainable, secure food supply.

What is glyphosate exactly?

Glyphosate is an effective, non-selective herbicide used by gardeners, land managers, farmers and others around the globe for more than 40+ years. It works by blocking the enzymes that plants, in this instance unwanted weeds, require in order to grow. The enzymes are not present in mammals or humans.4 Glyphosate doesn't pose any risk when it is used in a safe manner.

There are many other applications for glyphosate, too. It is used in municipalities to safeguard wildlife and the public from harmful weeds.6 Furthermore, it's used to prevent the spread of fire and to maintain visibility on railway tracks.

In recent times, glyphosate has gained more attention and is increasingly being used in our daily lives. It's crucial to consider what goes onto and into our food, it's important to note that over 160 international government health regulatory agencies, including Health Canada, agree that glyphosate is not harmful to humans when used correctly.8

Canadians will be better equipped to comprehend what glyphosate does and how it functions, and why it is essential for the production of food.

Glyphosate can be used in the process of cultivate crops.

グリホサート 苔 Glyphosate-based herbicides offer a variety of advantages for farmers, consumers as well as the natural environment. This is vital for effective herbicide control, safe food supply, and sustainability of the environment. Let's look at each of these advantages in greater detail.

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization the losses could rise to as high as two times if they're not properly protected. This is especially devastating for farmers because the crops they grow are their main source of income.

It's not unusual for farmers to been relying on their tools year after year. Glyphosate can be applied to plants that have glyphosate tolerance. This is a well-tested method of controlling the destructive weeds.

Crops and Weeds fighting for their lives

Glyphosate can give crops a chance to defeat up to 30,000 weeds for space, light and nutrients, as well as water.

Benefits for Canadians and all consumers around the world Food is plentiful and affordable

The population is growing and half of the land that is used for food production in Canada is at risk of becoming unusable in 40 years.10 This could lead to more food security issues. Canadians may be paying 55% more for food if they don't have modern farming techniques like Glyphosate.

Furthermore, our favorite food items will become harder to obtain. But the great news is that farmers are able to continue to produce our most loved staple foods thanks to the science behind plant breeding.

Glyphosate can do more than control weeds. It can also help keep food costs down at the store. Glyphosate can also be utilized by farmers to take care of what Cherilyn Joy-Nagle of Mossbank in Saskatchewan refers to as "their most valuable asset"--their land.

The food we love is always on the table

Farmers can grow better by using crop protection tools (including the glyphosate) are employed to protect crops from diseases or pests.

42% more grains, including wheat and corn

72 percent More Fruit

83% More Vegetables and Potatoes12

These benefits are obvious. But is it safe to use?

To put it simply, yes--and like all pesticides, they should be used in accordance with instructions on the label. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) checks crops for pesticide residue and makes sure that farmers use the pesticide in a safe manner. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency, (PMRA) is a regulatory agency that provides guidelines, evaluations of submissions to the product, approvals (or rejections) and has one of the most rigorous evaluation procedures globally.

In addition, to making sure that herbicides approved by the FDA are used correctly by farmers, regulatory agencies will also ensure that an appropriate and safe use of glyphosate continues by producers, farmers as well as animals, so that no unintended danger is created to the environment or animals.

In addition, precision agriculture has enabled farmers to utilize data and increase their ability to apply glyphosate precisely to the exact places and in the exact amounts.

It is not common that pesticide residues are discovered in food. グリホサート However, it could still cause harm when it is. CFIA ensures that farmers use herbicides in a safe manner and are complying with established limits for residues16. It is extremely rare to detect glyphosate in food products at a low level that are well lower than the Canada's Government's limit.17 Since it does not be a danger to animals or humans18

Glyphosate use as part of sustainable practices in agriculture

As part of an integrated pest/weed management system, farmers apply herbicides, such as glyphosate. グリホサート They use multiple herbicides to control weeds. Glyphosate allowed farmers to adopt conservation and no-till practices that have long-term benefits for the soil, the environment and the air quality.

- To reduce or eliminate plowing or tilling of land

- Reducing CO2 emissions

Capturing carbon in the soil

- Improving soil health

- Reducing water runoff and limiting erosion13

"No pesticide regulatory agency anywhere in the world has considered Glyphosate as the risk of human cancer at current levels." - Health Canada (January 11, 2019, Health Canada).

It's now more vital than ever that Canadian farmers have access to the latest technology, tools, support and tools they need to satisfy the food supply demands of an ever-growing population.

Glyphosate, however, isn't the only tool they'll employ to ensure Canadians are able to access healthy, affordable food in the future.
