Soil without chemical fertilizers or herbicides

Glysophate is the most used herbicide: it is a weapon of mass destruction, which not only affects the biodiversity of water and soil, but also human health.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Scientific research concludes that glyphosate produces: sterility, kidney and hormonal problems, deterioration in the nervous system and causes cell damage and death.

Although glyphosate degrades very quickly, it is converted to a product called aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), which has been proven to remain in the soil for periods of more than three years and contaminate groundwater. This substance can even be carried by rivers and reach populations that are not necessarily agricultural. AMPA, according to laboratory studies, is a substance that damages the genetic material of living beings.
