New Possibly, but asks the right question
If RoundUp is banned, what will farmers switch to instead? I don't know the answer to that.

New Well, they're going to have to figure it out.
First, super weeds are eating Roundup for lunch. Farmers have to spray more of it every year - eventually, there's an end point.

Roundup is not just Glyphosphate - some of those "more dangerous" herbicides get added in greater quantity every year.

The long term effects of Roundup are likely to prove disastrous in many subtle ways - and for a lot of people, and many farms, the fixes will come too late.

New Another side of the monoculture coin
Hopefully that means there's an opportunity for a new type of herbicide to hit the market and replace Glyphosphate.

I would not worry too much, but just in case I'd monitor my socks and coat hangers for mysterious acts of spontaneous annihilation and replication.
