- The ever-darkening shadow of Monsanto-fueled superweeds
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2017
Investigating the agricultural impacts of use of Monsanto's herbicides, which has led to rapid development of herbicide-resistant weeds which pose difficulties for farmers and lead to further dependence on new herbicides.
- Global effects of GM crops questioned
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2011
Twenty Indian, south-east Asian, African and Latin American food and conservation groups have published a damning study, saying that GM (genetically modified) crops have failed to increase yield, while requiring farmers to increase their dependence on herbicides and pesticides.
- Glyphosate's Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2013
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, is the most popular herbicide used worldwide. The industry asserts it is minimally toxic to humans, but here we argue otherwise. Residues are found in the main foods of the Western diet, comprised primarily of sugar, corn, soy and wheat. Glyphosate's inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals. (This article belongs to the Special Issue Biosemiotic Entropy: Disorder, Disease, and Mortality)
- GMOs, Glyphosate & Tomorrow
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2011
Any time you have a single gene in so many different crops, especially a gene that impacts the normal resistance and defense mechanism in the plant, and you spread that same vulnerability across so many plants, you should anticipate a high level of vulnerability.
- How You Can Help Make A Difference
Resource Type: Article
Published: 1989
Your actions can make a difference. There are a host of things you can do in and around your home to reduce pressures on the environment.

Resource Type: Article
Published: 2015
The Chipotle restaurant chain decides to make its product lines GMO-free -- a trend that may be a threat to Monsanto's goal of controlling the food industry.
- New generation: Growing up reading Rachel Carson, scientists unravel risks of new pesticides
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2014
Like biologist Rachel Carson, whose 1962 book Silent Spring warned about the devastating effects of DDT, a new generation of scientists is trying to figure out if new pesticides -- which are being used in ever-increasing numbers, quantities, and combinations -- are harming living things they’re not intended to kill, including birds.
- New Seeds, Old Pesticides
A Farmer on 2,4-D and Next Gen GMOs
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2014
I doubt very many people have ever heard or seen a "tank mix." Simply put, it is a mix of several crop chemicals used together to control a variety of weeds. I have not looked into a swirling mix of chemicals in a crop spray rig for probably 20 years – that's about how long it has been since we have used any herbicides on our farm.

- Pesticides, Neoliberalism and the Politics of Acceptable Death
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2015
In 1900, cancer killed three people in America out of every hundred. Today, it's 33 out of every 100 -- more than one-in-four Americans die from cancer. These figures come from Dr. Joseph Weissman, a professor of medicine at UCLA. Weissman reckons that a fair slice of this explosion in cancer mortality can be laid at the door of petro-chemicals, particularly those used by the food industry.

- Two Decades of Monsanto's Illegal Actions, Frauds and Crimes in India
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2017
Over the two decades since Monsanto entered India, it has violated laws, deceived Indian farmers by making unscientific and fraudulent claims, extracted super profits through illegal royalty collection by violating India’s Patent and Intellectual Property laws, pushed farmers into debt, and, as a consequence of the debt trap, to suicide.
- What Every Environmentalist Needs To Know about Capitalism
A Citizen's Guide to Capitalism and the Environment
Resource Type: Book
Published: 2011
A manifesto for those environmentalists who reject schemes of “green capitalism” or piecemeal reform. Magdoff and Foster argue that efforts to reform capitalism along environmental lines or rely solely on new technology to avert catastrophe misses the point. The main cause of the looming environmental disaster is the driving logic of the system itself, and those in power — no matter how “green” — are incapable of making the changes that are necessary.
