What is glyphosate. The Italian farmers who don't use it because of its risks

The video features the impacts of glyphosate on land and human health in the eyes of farmers, winemakers and doctors who decided not to use it or to quit using it. This is the first Italian investigation on the issue, carried out by social and environmental photographer Massimo Colombo.
“I started my news report in the province of Verona, which is characterised by an extensive use of weed killers,” said Colombo. “I then travelled to Tuscany, where a vast area of 'biodistricts' is being created. Lastly, I went to Abruzzo, where I had the chance to talk with a doctor who has been studying environmental diseases for years. I came into contact with people who propose alternatives to chemicals in farming. I took pictures of every person I met and I interviewed them. The result is a video explaining what glyphosate is, which its negative effects on human health and the environment are, and why many farmers want it to be banned”.
