Today we need to achieve productivity increase without the cultivation of more land, while conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. Therefore, industry is committed to protect and enhance biodiversity by providing safe crop protection products that support integrated crop management approaches, promoting the uptake of good agricultural practices such as crop rotation and diversification as well as reduced tillage systems.
Monitoring data provide insights into the environmental exposure to agrochemicals. Observed concentrations of glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA* in soil, water bodies and air are at levels that do not pose a risk for the environment or human health. The GRG is committed to targeted in-depth investigations to ensure environmental safety.
