#Glyphosate is the most commonly used #herbicide world-wide. Approval for its use in the European Union is expiring in 2023. A ban will have economic impacts on European agriculture but effects are heterogenous and uncertain.

But this is now basically a put and take fishery. Stocked trout may also been exposed to a lot of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers 😞
But I still like fishing and walking along this creek 😊

The European Food Safety Authority says it hasn't found "any critical areas of concern" preventing the controversial and widely used herbicide glyphosate from being reauthorised for use in the EU.
The long-awaited assessment report noted that it had "identified a high long-term risk to mammals in 12 out of 23 proposed uses".
But the EFSA said it only considered a concern "critical" when it affected all proposed uses of the substance.

#Insect #Pollinators in #agricultural #ecosystems often rely on non-agricultural plants growing on field margins at different points in the season.
But what happens when agrochemicals from fields get into field margins?
Russo et al (2023) looked at the effects of #herbicide & #fertilizer on #nectar resources in margin #plant species – and on visitation of #flowers by pollinators. They showed shifts in resources and related shifts in visitation.

[FranceInfo] - #PaulFrançois, l'agriculteur-céréalier qui a fait condamner #Bayer-#Monsanto, a violemment été agressé chez lui.
D'après nos informations, alors qu’il rentrait son véhicule dans le garage de son domicile charentais, trois hommes cagoulés l’ont très rapidement capturé, puis, lui ont ficelé les jambes et les bras avec des liens ressemblants à des câbles électriques qu’ils avaient avec eux, sans lui laisser le temps de réagir.

To take out invasives, the US relies on crews wielding hatchets, chainsaws, and #herbicide. It’s a messy, fun job—but it may not be enough to stop the spread.
