Making money with glyphosate? Should I remain a Bayer shareholder? (2019x32)

Udgivelsesdato: Aug 27, 2019

STRG_F reporter Tobias Zwior is a Bayer shareholder - and now has a problem. Since last year, Bayer has owned one of the most controversial products in the world: glyphosate. It is highly efficient and kills almost all plants within a very short time and is therefore used by farmers around the world to combat weeds. Less working hours, higher yields - a revolution for agriculture. But criticism of the drug has increased in recent years. In the USA, around 18,000 plaintiffs claim that glyphosate caused them cancer. In Argentina, diseases are increasing among people who live near large areas of soybean cultivation. And in Europe, negotiations are underway to ban it by 2022. This also concerns Tobias. Because as a Bayer shareholder, glyphosate also belongs to him. That's why he sets out to find out: How dangerous is glyphosate really? And should he keep his shares or sell them?
