Apple Podcasts1Eddie610267United Statesa month ago This is an excellent podcast. Amy Westervelt is a professional and skilled journalist, and she uses verifiable facts and interviews with those that with experts (real experts!) and those that were 'at the table'.
This is one of the two climate podcasts (the other one is 'the climate pod') that are really worth listening to.

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.
