Can anyone provide feedback regarding alternatives to use of herbicides like roundup for weed control to include large scale institutional, governmental or corporate use.

Hi all-

One of the reasons given that would prevent a ban on the use of Roundup, is
that there are few or no alternatives to the use of Roundup (ag, roadways,
etc.).

Coming from the agroecological or organic perspective, in Sanet we can
provide a host of alternative weed management techniques.

However, are there any specific practices, alternative herbicides, or
scientific studies that you could cite, as an alternative to the use of
Roundup?

Below, is a link to a list of potential health side-effects from exposure to
Roundup, taken from the recent open-source EU report.

Thank-you for any leads.

Separately, Green Peace/GM Freeze has just come up with another important
report on both the health and environmental impacts from Roundup.
