Monsantos Mass Super Weeds Force a Return to Sustainable FarmingAnthony Gucciardi Experts call upon farmers and government officials to return to traditional sustainable farming practices the kind without Monsantos Roundup herbicide. It was recently reported by the media (despite NaturalSociety and others reporting on this extensively back in 2011) that a fast-spreading plague of the super weeds is spreading and they will not be stopped easily. The super resistant weeds threaten not only independent family farmers and major agricultural businesses alike, but also the future of food production. Experts are now calling for a radical change in farming practices, with time-tested traditional methods being the ultimate goal. In addition, weed scientists seek to hold a summit or panel of sorts to address the issue in Washington. As a leading task force member who is working with the USDA on the issue stated, this is a byproduct of rampant biotechnology that must be remedied by returning to traditional norms. We dont have that next technology. We have to get back to the fundamentals, said top weed scientist David Shaw. Amazingly, resistant weeds currently cover over 4.5 million hectares (a hectare is about 2.4 acres) in the United States alone, though experts estimate the world-wide land coverage to have reached at least 120 million hectares by 2010. And the outcome of this hyper resistance, of course, is excessive use of further herbicides which still yields virtually no results. Just as with Monsantos other products, the USDA continues to wait until serious consequences are experienced before even considering action. Meanwhile, the agency is giving Monsanto special speedy approval to expedite their latest inventions into the marketplace with extreme haste.
