The other thing with the glyphosate is its use, not to control weeds during growth but for ‘desiccation’ just before harvest.! Beans are an example, green growth, then brown so they can all be the same for harvest.. I remember (BSc Agr 1980!) talk of withdrawal etc., sometime between application and harvest. Also, they should be having buffers around wetlands and water bodies. Sad to see.
Sticking to Canadian or other produce for sure.
Good, serious reporting on fossil lobbying
Put on a coat, take off the coat.
Fascinating. I loved the Carbon Bros mini series and also the Black Thread (essential listening for Canadians in late 2025).
Just finished the mini series. For an expat living in Norway, this is a relief (words put to thoughts I had but wasn’t able to communicate) and a disaster (society scale ultra pro max self deception). Love the depth of the show!
