Leaders across agriculture, politics, science and media globally are speaking up for glyphosate as a vital total for sustainable agriculture. Unfortunately, these voices often aren’t heard beyond their local countries or regions. Globally, glyphosate has been transformative for environmentally sustainable agriculture, and it is important that the voices of leaders around the world be heard in ongoing conversations.
European Conservation Agriculture Federation (EU)
“Glyphosate is an important substance for agriculture, not just for Conservation Agriculture but for conventional agriculture too.”
Gottlieb Basch, President
National Farmers’ Federation (Australia)
“No other herbicide has been tested to the lengths that glyphosate has. Through the use of glyphosate, farmers are able to practice minimum tillage – protecting soil structure and nutrients and ultimately increasing the storage of soil carbon.”
Fiona Simson, President
