Dr. Stephanie Seneff,
MIT Senior Research Scientist and world
renowned expert on how glyphosate is linked to
increasing health issues.
On
April 6th 2017, Dr. Stephanie Seneff
testified to the Belize Pesticide Control
Board, and later gave special presentations
to farmers and the public. Dr. Seneff
provided strong evidence of glyphosate's
damaging effects on our health and the
soil. She also emphasized the threat
to the long term survivability of the exotic
species that attract so many visitors to
Belize. See links to her presentations in
box above photo.
(The World's Most Controversial
Weedkiller) is used to dry out crops just before
harvest. This is called desiccation or
pre-harvest spraying. It is one of the main reasons
for glyphosate ending up in the food you eat.
Pre-harvest spraying is used on oats, wheat, barley
and many pulses on both conventional and GMO
crops.
Researcher Anthony Samsel
obtained the complete Monsanto file of previously
undisclosed Mosanto research documents on glyphosate
from US EPA under FIA and some of his research is
based on these Monsanto documents.
“The
intrinsic hazards of glyphosate and their use in
tolerant transgenic crops are unacceptable if we
want to achieve a sustainable food system, so we
need a global phase out and a shift in policies
promoting instead agroecological alternatives for
weed control and crop rotation in diversified
crop systems.”Fernando Bejarano, PAN
