Lawyers for US cancer sufferers challenge Bayer’s $7.25bn Roundup settlement deal

Proposed settlement would pay users of glyphosate-based weedkiller who have non-Hodgkin lymphoma $10,000 to $165,000

The Guardian

If there ever was a recent documentary that showed why big corporations (eg Monsanto) must never regulate themselves or their industry, or be allowed to become so big they can do what they want, this may be it.

The powerful story of a former Bay Area groundskeeper who took on Monsanto after a terminal cancer diagnosis.

« Les #herbicides sont une arme » : Israël bombarde le #Liban et la #Syrie avec du #glyphosate

"L’armée israélienne a procédé à des épandages d’herbicide début février sur ses frontières avec le Liban et la Syrie. Ces tactiques suscitent l’indignation et interrogent : jusqu’où ira #Tsahal dans son « #écocide » ?".

« Il s’agit à 100 % de glyphosate, qui dépasse de 30 à 50 fois les doses habituelles utilisées dans l’agriculture »

6 Ways #GoatFarming Impacts the Environment That Support #Sustainability

Excerpts: "Goats produce significantly less #methane than #cattle, emitting approximately 5 kg of methane annually compared to 70-120 kg from cows. Their efficient digestive systems extract more nutrients from fibrous plant material while generating fewer greenhouse gases. This lower methane output makes goats a more climate-friendly protein source, especially when raised on marginal lands unsuitable for crop production.

[...]

"Goats offer a chemical-free alternative for controlling #InvasivePlant species that threaten native #ecosystems. Their unique browsing habits target woody plants and weeds that other livestock avoid, effectively reducing invasives like #kudzu, poison ivy, and multiflora rose without #herbicides. You’ll find that targeted goat grazing preserves soil health and protects beneficial insects and microorganisms that chemical treatments typically harm.

[...]

"Goat #manure offers exceptional #composting potential due to its pellet form and balanced nutrient profile. When properly composted, these droppings transform into valuable organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The composting process eliminates pathogens while preserving beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil structure. You’ll find that goat manure composts faster than cow manure—typically ready in 2-3 months versus 4-6 months for cattle waste."
