Endocrine-disrupting agrochemicals are leading to a human extinction event

March 19, 2021 -

The spraying of everything from atrazine to glyphosate (Roundup) on conventional food is effectively breaking down the human endocrine system. Males seem to be bearing the brunt of this as sperm counts have plummeted to the point that human reproduction might soon be impossible without technology.

It is all part of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, which is heavily promoted by Bill Gates and his ilk. As Great Britain's misanthropic Prince Philip ...

Nanobiotechnology researchers seek natural agrochemicals to use for crop protection

June 11, 2018 - agrochemicals that are used on food crops. These include antibacterials, fungicides, and chemicals that regulate plant growth.

Saharan's team will look for other bioactive compounds and micronutrients that could be added to the nanoscale thymol emulsion. These additions would increase the formula's versatility and allow it to replace other synthetic chemicals.

GMO HUCKSTERS: How the biotech industry controls the media narrative and smears anti-GMO activists

October 25, 2017 -

This is why corporations such as Monsanto pay professors to travel, write, and speak on behalf of their genetically modified organisms and agrochemicals. The biotech industry also organizes conferences to indoctrinate journalists and scientists on how to best promote GMOs and agrochemicals. As the carcinogenic composition of agrochemicals such as glyphosate is revealed, the biotech industry only seeks to control the media narrative going forward. ...

Glyphosate herbicide may be altering children’s genetics and causing BIRTH DEFECTS

July 13, 2023 - agrochemicals for more than 20 years, resulting in a rise in miscarriages, birth defects and cancer. Despite this, Buenos Aires was not convinced of the dangers of such chemicals. It even continued to subsidize GM crops such as soybean, given that the government receives 35 percent in taxes from GM soybean exports.

The film also visited the city of Cordoba, the capital of the eponymous province in the center of the country. Cordoba is where most GM soybeans are grown, ...

Research finds probiotics are effective at improving survival rates in honey bees exposed to pesticides

September 25, 2018 - agrochemicals.

While reducing (or really, eliminating) the use of harmful pesticides altogether would be ideal, there may be another way to help bees persevere: Probiotics. A new study, led by researchers from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University, has shown that providing bees with an edible probiotic supplement helps to boost their survival rates -- and it helps protect them against the hazardous effects of pesticide use.

While probiotics ...

Australian grocery chain Woolworths to stop selling a pesticide that’s causing bee pollinator “colony collapse”

February 02, 2018 - agrochemicals out there to watch out for, this is surely one step in the right direction.

Even a study by the EPA ultimately concluded that neonic pesticides can -- and do -- have hazardous effects on honeybees. Indeed, a 2016 risk assessment survey led by EPA scientists found that when traces of neonicotinoids are found in the nectar bees bring back to their hives, trouble may soon follow. In their assessment, the EPA reportedly noted "there's a significant effect," ...

‘Genetically engineered doomsday’: Bayer’s GMO soil microbes pose potentially serious agricultural risks

January 23, 2024 -

(Article republished from YourNews.com)

Bayer, in collaboration with Ginkgo Bioworks, has been developing genetically engineered soil microbes, raising alarms about the potential for a catastrophic impact on agriculture. The concern is that these modified microbes could spread uncontrollably, leading to soil contamination on a scale that could significantly disrupt farming practices.

This initiative by Bayer is part of an effort to replace traditional fossil-fuel-based ...

Simple changes in conventional farming practices, particularly those that repair soil, could be the key to feeding the world

September 29, 2018 -

According to experts like University of Washington Geomorphology Professor David R. Montgomery, the answer to how to feed the world lies in reversing the soil degradation that is responsible for taking roughly a third of our planet's farmland out of production.

Professor Montgomery points out that agrochemicals and mechanization might have initially boosted crop yields, but the one-two punch of heavy fertilizer and mechanical tillage has left soil organic ...

The USDA FAILS to enforce a key farm bill provision, much to the detriment of the residents of the Midwest who are now drinking contaminated water

May 30, 2018 - agrochemicals, nitrates, manure, and phosphate runoff to contaminate streams and nearby bodies of water. Farmers have grown lax in this very important area of land stewardship. When it rains, small channels form in the fields. These ephemeral gullies carry rainwater, agrochemicals, manure sediments, biosludge contaminants, phosphates, and nitrates out of the fields and into nearby streams and bodies of water. Americans are at risk because phosphate fertilizers cause ...
