The pesticide glyphosate: What we know, what we don’t and what to do

This webinar will provide an overview of glyphosate, the key ingredient in the pesticide RoundUp commonly used in agriculture and gardening, as it relates to health. We will discuss what researchers already know and do not yet know about exposure and its impact on health. We will also share what the University of Minnesota 10,000 Families Study is studying about glyphosate. An agriculture and gardening safety expert will provide practical tips, share resources and give you a chance to ask questions.
