The USDA's scientist Robert Kremer's research does not back Monsato's claims about reducing erosion.[1] What is clear from the research is that roundup: * causes damage to beneficial microbes in the soil increasing the likelihood of infection of a crop by soil pathogens * interference with nutrient uptake by the plant * reduced efficiency of symbiotic nitrogen fixation * overall lower-than-expected plant productivity [2] Not to mention that superweeds have already caused thousands of acres of US farmland to be abandoned. [3] Instead of using GMO for good like golden rice, Monsanto uses it to turn farmers in toxic chemical addicts at the both the expense of our heath and that of our nation's farmland.
