Better Safe than Sorry: Austria Wants Ban on Glyphosate 5 July 2019 Paola Nano Austria’s parliament recently voted to prohibit all use of Glyphosate, an herbicide often referred to as Roundup. The ban is expected to take effect on the 1st of January 2020. While some cities and states of Europe have chosen to autonomously restricts its use, it is our hope that Austria’s full-fledged prohibition will serve as an example for other European governments.
