Ok that's more than the reading list for a grad school seminar. I'm not going to read every one and compare/contrast/ reach my own conclusion across all that.

Surely you can summarize the issue for us, assuming you have read the material you cite for support. What's the 'explain to me like I'm a bright fifth grade student' takeaway from those thousands of pages?

I did summarize it.

I'm not saying agronomically there aren't concerns with using glyphosate but health wise it's about as safe an option there is outside of a hoe. There have been tons of studies on glyphosate and information can be found all over the web. Just make sure what you're reading is from a reputable source. Glyphosate Technical Fact Sheet

Effects of aerial applications of the herbicide glyphosate and insecticides on human health
[Oddly the aerial was inconclusive, but the ground study did show a statistically significative relationship was found between the use of glyphosate at ground level, and the concentration levels of glyphosate in the urine samples (odds ratio=2.54, 95% CI: 1.08 to 6.8).]

So if not glyphosate what would you recommend farmers use Bmaverick? Gramoxone???

The world population is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050. That means we have to grow more food over the next 35 years than the last 2000 years combined. We are not gonna be able to do that with out using modern technology. I understand we need to make sure what we do is safe but glyphosate has been around for 20 years and studied more than just about any other pesticide outside of maybe atrazine.

The original levels that were set for glyphosate didn't poise a direct risk to human and animal health. Then in the past few years, the levels were raised. This is what caused the scientific debate to flourish into the main stream media and with Ag businesses across the country. As the weeds have became resistant, the superweeds are striking back. Thus the limits were raised towards the toxicity levels. The USA has the highest allowable levels to use. Other countries are in a safer standard at the original rate.

There are studies being carried out at this time, that involve year to year spraying on fields to monitor the glyphosate level increases. The soil microbes are not breaking down the glyphosate at rates predicted. Thus, in time the fields may need to rest for years to reduce the high concentrations of glyphosate.

There are three other herbicides that compete with glyphosate. Two of which are a bit safer and no repercussions of superweeds resistance. These are very popular in Europe, especially in Germany and Italy.

Name those herbicides and show me there ld50.

Every herbicide has the potential to create resistance. That's why I said agronomically glyphosate has issues. But as far as human safety is concerned it's about as safe as they come. There's a reason the average joe can go buy it off the shelf at Home Depot but they can't go buy restricted use pesticides like atrazine or gramoxone.

The world population is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050.

When the world was predicted to reach 6-billion in the 90s, people jumped back and thought, oh my what are we to do. Well, science came back and moved that mile marker further out in time. Likewise the 9-billion is a prediction for 2050. Many of the large populated countries of the world are actually going through a depopulation cycle. China, India, Canada, USA, Russia, much of Europe and the like. Africa is on a population up swing. However, their numbers to land mass is still low. Global economics has place limits on the financial ability to have more than one or two children. The USA population would have gone sharply negative if it were not for the southern border influx of people coming here.

Besides, the largest population right now in most 1st and 3nd world countries are the baby boomers. Many have reached their mid-60s or are older. So, by the 2050, much of this population would be gone. The statistical methods show a mean balance to adjust much lower in the years ahead, not to increase.

If we are doing Ag with our little CUT tractors, I would agree, we can not even dare to feed the world. Upon my yearly travels to the Ag mid-west and Europe, the Ag business isn't hurting and there are some abundance areas to take note of. Sure, the US western droughts are a bear at this time. The mid-east and northern states have stepped up supplying hay, straw and water to those dry areas for the livestock. 3X3 bales are 6X the cost over last years end of season.

Guys thanks for presenting the pros/cons in an understandable manner.

Is glyphosate implicated in bee decline?
