Decades of misuse of pesticides have led to worldwide latent poisoning of agricultural products and farmers. So far, however, concepts for a cost-effective and sustainable cleaning of contaminated soils have been lacking. So far, set-aside is still the only means, with enormous losses due to crop failure. See the example of China, where bans on land use alone cost more than USD 3 billion per year.

Green‘ initiatives such as those in Switzerland, where the call for a complete ban on pesticides is being fiercely debated, will increase. Even if this initiative cannot be implemented at the moment, it shows a tendency. Only healthy soils can produce healthy food. Currently this discussion is also taking place in South Tyrol, where the ‚world‘s best apples‘ grow on pesticide-polluted soils.

The pesticide discussion, accelerated by the current Glyphosate discussion, will also remain a permanent topic in view of health costs. Here the use of HUMIVERSE^® could bring an important solution, since the Humic and Fulvic Acids remove glyphosate and other pesticides from the body.⁷
