It's a myth that glyphosate is necessary for food production. Food can be grown very effectively and efficiently using regenerative agriculture, no-till soil preservation techniques and feeding microbes into the soils that allow diverse life to flourish. Glyphosate only seems beneficial in the short term because modern agriculture has produced DEAD SOILS that have been killed with chemicals and "mined" of natural minerals.
It takes care and effort to keep soils healthy, which naturally reduces weeds and helps intended crops out-compete other plants. But our entire agricultural system, just like our medical system, is rooted in the idea of a "chemical assault" on everything. Widespread use of glyphosate is indicative of failed agricultural practices that are not sustainable in the long run.
