Glyphosate and Synthetic VenomsJoan Cass

Glyphosate and Synthetic Venoms

, , , ,
Metaphorical Connections: Glyphosate as Synthetic Venom Metaphorically, glyphosate can be viewed as a synthetic venom unleashed on ecosystems. This perspective captures its dual nature: Toxicity as a Weapon: Just as natural venoms are evolved tools for defense or predation, glyphosate is a human-engineered "weapon" against weeds. Yet, like venoms, it does not discriminate fully; non-target organisms can suffer collateral damage.

One of Guatemala’s most striking health-conscious policies is its prohibition of glyphosate—a widely used herbicide linked to health risks such as cancer, liver damage, and endocrine disruption—and genetically modified organism (GMO) seeds. Glyphosate, produced by Bayer Monsanto, has been the subject of intense scrutiny due to its potential carcinogenic effects. Furthermore, Bayer Monsanto controls 67% of the world’s GMO seed supply, raising concerns about monopolistic practices and the global dependency.
