Glyphosate: A Continuing Conversation

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, is one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture. But how much do we really know about how it is being used—and what that means for our food, soil, water, and future generations?

This month’s article takes a closer look at glyphosate, including its use with genetically engineered crops, pre-harvest crop desiccation, its presence in our environment, and the growing issue of glyphosate-resistant weeds.

Our goal isn’t to overwhelm you with science, but to encourage curiosity, questions, and further exploration. The land we care for today is the land our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will inherit.
