Campaigners call for ban on use of weedkiller glyphosate at harvest time
Campaigners led by the Soil Association are calling for a UK ban on glyphosate use as a pre-harvest crop drying agent, citing concerns over residues in food products like bread and cereals, and scientific links to cancer. Farmers and groups such as the National Farmers Union (NFU) defend its use as essential for sustainable, affordable food production, while the UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE) plans a public consultation later this year on renewing glyphosate's approval beyond its 2026 expiry.
