On 19 May, the Glyphosate Renewal Group supported the launch in Parliament of a new report, “Seeding the Future through Conservation and Regenerative Agriculture to Meet the UK’s Agricultural and Climate Challenges”. The report was produced by the European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) and the University of Gloucestershire.

Beyond agricultural uses, glyphosate has played an important role in the management of public spaces and infrastructure across the UK. The amenities sector includes a wide range of environments such as streets, pavements, parks, railways, utilities infrastructure, and industrial areas. In these settings, effective weed control is essential to maintain safety, accessibility, and the integrity of public assets.

Glyphosate is a chemical substance used in numerous non-selective herbicides developed to combat unwanted weeds and invasive plants. Products based on glyphosate are approved for use in different applications such as agriculture, vegetation management, and widely across the amenities sector. Today, products based on glyphosate are registered and marketed in approximately 150 countries and are a safe and effective tool to control weeds when used in accordance with the label instructions.
