Is Glyphosate a herbicide, or a desiccant? They are different.

  Por que no los dos!

  It's both. It's applied just before harvest to non-glyphosphate-resistant food crops as a desiccant, and directly to unwanted plants as a weedkiller.

  its both. that's why so called organic breakfast cereals have traces of glyphosate. i am keen about automated farms and it will never be realised as long as we have 1000 acre farms that feed us. food has to be local to a certain extent and supply chains should be shorter. of course, not everything can be local. we have created a very efficient way of delivering food to 7+ billion people but commoditising food has destroyed our canvas that is the basis of all life. we need a paradigm shift and this is only possible through automation, robotics as we localise most of our food needs. i also believe..in my heart..that we will have to transform and tinker with our DNA rather than tinker with our environment which has proved to be costly and rather inefficient.
