Zero hunger
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
Traditional methods of weed control in agriculture heavily rely on chemical herbicides, which pose significant environmental and health risks. These chemicals not only harm biodiversity and soil health but also contaminate water sources and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, their indiscriminate use affects beneficial plant species and pollinators crucial for ecosystem balance.
The overuse of herbicides has led to concerns about food safety and environmental sustainability, prompting the need for innovative alternatives that can effectively manage weeds while minimizing ecological impact.
