The four farmer founders of The Green Farm Collective (TGFC) have teamed up with Eurostar Commodities to develop a line of flours produced using regenerative farming practices.
It's a good question. The use of such pesticides would normally be considered against the principles of regenerative farming and this group of farmers are all about soil health and biodiversity. Looking at their organisation, https://www.greenfarmcollective.com/regenerativestandards, their standards do include "no pre harvest glyphosate". btw. I'm shortly going to be launching a dedicated section to campaign for the ban on using glyphosate in public spaces in the UK. If you are involved in this, I'd love to hear more from you.
Sarah, it would be fantastic if they band glyphosates (roundup) everywhere. This chemical at one time back in 1988 was considered harmless and one veterinarian had told my dad he could drink it and it would be as harmless as a glass of water....At that time I was 20 and told my dad, don't ever trust a chemical company to tell you the safety of a product and he was off his rocker. Love my dad but that I would never trust. Fast forward 2019 and its considered a forever chemical as well, causes fatty liver and pancreatic cancers.
My family bake our own bread and often wonder how strong the glyphosates are in the flower? I've heard that you basically could take flower and sprinkle on soil and it would act as roundup due to the residual glyphosates in it. I hope that is an urban legend. I haven't tried it. Btw I'm in Canada (Canucistan) and farmers haven't let up on roundup yet. So if you could get your local municipalities and farmers to stop great!
Are these roundup and glyphosates free?
