Global Inflation for Agricultural Products: the price of Roundup rockets
The rising price of agricultural products in recent months brings a significant hike in the cost of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.
We are in a global crisis which is a result of the failings of a policy of globalised agriculture, a policy which has long been denounced by all supporters of fair and sustainable agriculture.
Health and Environmental Impacts of Monsanto’s Roundup Pesticide
Monsanto’s Roundup Residues in GM Food Cause Cell Damage.
For the first time, the toxicity mechanisms of four different Roundup formulations were studied in human cells. The various components of these major herbicides were tested because they are among the most common in the world. Their residues are among the major pollutants, and moreover they are authorized as residues contaminating GM foods and feed at the tested levels.
Roundup proves deadly to human cells
Used in gardens, farms, and parks around the world, the weed killer Roundup contains an ingredient that can suffocate human cells in a laboratory, researchers say

PROBLEMS WITH ROUNDUP
A team from CRIIGEN based in France compared the toxicity of various types of Roundup on sale with that of glyphosate alone, the breakdown product of glyphosate and one common adjuvant on three types of human cells (human umbilical, embryonic, and placental cells). The result was dramatic – the Roundup formulations caused "total cell death within 24 hours", which was significantly more toxic than glyphosate, its breakdown product and one commonly used adjuvant on their own. This effect was even observed at very low concentration: the researchers diluted Roundup by 100,000 times for the purposes of the experiments.
USA: Monsanto’s Roundup means super weeds, higher food prices
American farmers’ use of Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer has led to the rapid growth of super weeds, according to a New York Times story Tuesday that likens the phenomenon to antibiotics creating drug-resistant super germs.
