Article: Glyphosate's Environmental Benefits

Writing for the Breakthrough Institute, Dan Blaustein-Rejto examines the glyphosate environmental benefits and tradeoffs in modern agriculture, explaining that the herbicide has often reduced reliance on more toxic chemicals and enabled conservation practices such as no-till farming that lower soil erosion, fuel use, and emissions. While acknowledging challenges such as herbicide resistance and ecological considerations, the piece argues that science-based regulation and continued innovation are key to preserving these benefits while developing improved weed management tools.
