Herbicide tolerance and GM crops: why the world should be ready to round up glyphosate [1]

The widespread and increasingly intensive use of glyphosate in association with the use of GM (genetically modified) crops poses further risks to the environment and human health.  This report, produced by Greenpeace together with GM Freeze, shows why rigorous assessment of the safety of glyphosate to plant, humans and animals is of great importance, and why an urgent reassessment of the health impacts of glyphosate and its related products must now take place.
