More DescriptionThis report looks at the latest research on the safety of the widely used herbicide, glyphosate. It seeks to reconcile the conflicting findings that the glyphosate is 'probable carcinogen' and 'is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic hazard to humans', and to consider the outcomes if Australia bans glyphosate. The first two sections of the report consider why agencies have reached divergent or apparently divergent conclusions. The third asks what it means for glyphosate to be a carcinogen, and the fourth explores what a world without it might look like.
