Australia's Federal Court has dismissed a case alleging glyphosate exposure causes cancer.
The class-action involved hundreds of Australia's who claimed glyphosate exposure had caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Justice Michael Lee said none of the scientific studies presented in trial led him to conclude the chemical caused cancer in mammals.
Farmers reliant on glyphosate for weed control are relieved with the outcome, worried they would be left with no viable weed-control options.
Grain Producers Australia RD&E Spokesperson said he had fears for the future of food production if the court ruled with the class-action.
