Tell the European Commission to ban glyphosate and get off the pesticide treadmill!

31.03.16 Urgent Action

Stopglyphosate
The European Commission must be stopped from approving renewed authorization in the European Union of the toxic herbicide glyphosate [1], the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup and the world's most widely-used herbicide. Renewed authorization is being pushed through despite the United Nations' World Health Organization warning last year [2] that glyphosate is probably carcinogenic and mounting evidence of pervasive glyphosate residues in our food and our bodies. The IUF and Pesticide Action Network (PAN) International are calling for messages to the European Commission and its relevant bodies urging them to ban glyphosate in the EU and to provide comprehensive support for a safer, saner food system which does not put agricultural workers in the front lines of exposure and inject massive quantities of toxic chemicals into the environment.
