I wouldn't be surprised if it's the glyphosate

We need to get back to regenerative farming that already has time proven solutions for weeds (ok maybe not the same yield straight away but at least its sustainable)

If your soil is just a chemical laden dust bowl then there are 2nd and 3 order effects from that

Better robotic weeding drones using lasers or spray guns to kill weeds. We can still get high yields and cut back on weed killers and possibly pesticides if they can do pests too.

Anything that kills yield drives up the cost of food.

So while organic sustainable farming works and produces food, what is not shared is that the yield per unit work is dramatically higher for the chemical laden stuff.

> Anything that kills yield drives up the cost of food.

You are making an assumption that "organic" = "driving down yields"[1] and that yield is the most important aspect of a food.

I am glad that an organic farming non-profit investigated organic farming and found no downsides.

Sure, but we'll save money on healthcare and prescriptions instead.

What makes you suspect that in particular? Farms use all kinds of different chemicals besides glyphosate.

Yes
