Glyphosate in organic hydroponics
'Faux-ganic' Hydroponic Food Production
"With No Soil to Certify, They Can Contaminate the Earth and Sell Faux-ganic Produce to Unsuspecting Consumers" ~ cornupocia.org
'Organic” hydroponic production is a form of factory farming: the ground is levelled, compacted, and often covered with plastic, while plant roots bathe in synthetic nutrients or are supported by sterile substrates like gravel or coconut coir. The rows and rows of identical indoor plants resemble the worst of livestock production where hens are crammed into battery cages or cattle are packed into barren feed lots—all unable to touch real soil or live natural lives.'
In his long e-mail addressing the situation, Dave Chapman, Executive Director of Real Organic Project, explains how faux-ganic produce is being sold to unsuspecting consumers.
“I have been hearing for months that glyphosate is being sprayed on fields about to be certified organic for hydroponic berry production. The way this use of herbicide is incorporated into “organic” certification is to laser level a field, compact it until it is like a parking lot, wait a little while until the weeds (that slows follow disturbed soil) have germinated. And then spray it with an herbicide..." ~ Dave Chapman.
...Obviously if glyphosate 'Roundup' has been sprayed on land surrounding hydroponic crops, evaporation in a hot greenhouse or polytunnel is going to allow those chemicals to circulate around the crops. Particles would surely accumulate in the air regardless.
Genetic Engineering
Big Pharma Takeover of Fruit, Veg and your Health
"Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”
When all the seeds are owned by one corporation, they have almost total control of the global food. This is the Codex Alimentarius - Agenda30. We are starting to see food manufacturing plants being closed due to Covid testing, even when the curve is flat (Sept. 2020)
Genetic modification of plants (and animals) is very unnatural. By consuming GMO plants and animals (who have been fed GMO crops), humans are changing their own biological construction.
Big-pharma provides the seeds and pesticides to kill weeds. Glyphosate originated as a gene taken from a lone surviving plant on a chemical weapons dump after WWII. It was subsequently utilised by Monsanto to develop into 'Roundup' weedkiller, which kill all surrounding plants (weeds) except plants 'edited' with the 'weapon surviving gene'! Of course, anything killing weeds cannot be too good for the vegetables either! In countries like India farmers are forced to buy GMO seeds every year as they don't replicate. Please watch 'Seeds of Death' film below which covers all aspects, and will surely persuade you to go organic.
The food industry does not have to comply in all countries with labelling of GMO products.
Seeds of Death: Unveiling The Lies of GMOs
'The global launch of a second Green Revolution, spearheaded by genetic engineering and corrupt corporations such as Monsanto and DuPont, shows every sign of being as catastrophic as the first revolution. As the big agro-chemical complex morphs into one of the world's most powerful lobbies, educating people about the dangers of genetically modified crops, or GMOs, and the growing threats of toxic intensive agriculture can hinder GMO's domination of our food supply.'
'Seeds of Death: Unveiling the Lies of GMOs, by award-winning documentary film director Gary Null, takes on the seed cartel's propaganda and political influence to expose a fabric of lies and deceit now threatening the safety and life of every species. Predictably, GMOs will reduce sustainable agriculture and humanity's ability to meet global food demands. GMOs are founded on a baseless science, originally approved through political manoeuvring and disregard for human safety. Hundreds of scientific studies reveal GMOs' serious health risks to animals and these same adverse conditions are rapidly observed in the epidemic rise of human diseases.'
'...It depends upon massive amounts of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, and greater water resources. The result is soil devastation and lower crop yields.'
"The whole concept of genetically modified organisms is throwing a monkey wrench in the life on this planet and until we change that we are heading downhill at a rapid rate of speed toward our own extinction"
~ Bruce Lipton PhD, Developmental Biologist

Mass food production and mass monitoring is all about big pharma corporate profiteering at any cost to health; whereas what we need is more farmers learning and redeveloping sustainable farming practices, which can in fact increase yields.
Monsanto-Bayer has a long history of being sued by farmers. Many previous articles to be put here!
