The article outlines the potential effects of the European Union's possible ban on soybean imports containing glyphosate from third countries, as discussed and initiated by Luxembourg. Scientists at Uppsala University's Department of Agriculture (SLU) have estimated the potential impact on the European pork and poultry sectors, predicting significant reductions in production. For pork, an estimated 43% drop, and for poultry, a more substantial 58% reduction are anticipated without alternative protein sources. The study also suggests that increased rapeseed cultivation in Europe could satisfy local vegetable oil demands and provide supplementary animal feed, potentially reducing reliance on imports and limiting environmental impacts.
