Online and off, there is ongoing discussion about glyphosate, the active ingredient in most Roundup® brand herbicides and other weed-control products. It makes sense: around the globe, people are looking for information to answer questions and understand conversations around this widely-used herbicide.
Our hope is that by openly communicating about glyphosate – from why it was created to how it works, from its impacts on the environment and health to its role in modern agriculture – we can provide clarity on one of the most talked-about topics in farming.
So, what is the Bayer point of view? We have a responsibility to farmers, consumers and the environment. That’s why, when it comes to managing our business, we are raising the bar in transparency, sustainability and engagement. As we strive to deliver the best new solutions for agriculture, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in our interactions with farmers, policy makers, media, NGOs and consumers who want to know more about glyphosate and our business. Learn more about the Crop Science Division.
At our core, we are committed to delivering better solutions for farmers and providing more choice for consumers to help them and our planet thrive. As part of our portfolio, glyphosate-based herbicides will continue to play a key role in helping agriculture meet pressing environmental and food security challenges as the global population grows by an expected two billion people through 2050.
