摘要: 自2015年IARC发布草甘膦可能致癌的评估报告以来,草甘膦的安全性一直受到各界人士的关注和热议。在各类案例中,“草甘膦安全之争”以其重要性、复杂性、曲折性成为农业投入品影响食品安全和生态健康的代表事件。该案例之所以如此重要,主要由于草甘膦在全球范围内的广泛使用和在除草剂市场上难以撼动的霸主地位,案例的复杂性体现在其涉及面广和影响深远,与生态、经济、政治、教育等领域存在千丝万缕的联系,而曲折性是指继IARC的致癌性评估后,各国际机构相继发布的无风险评估结果使得草甘膦的命运一波三折。本文首先回顾了整个案例的发展脉络,并陈述了事件的参与方,然后从发展历程、理化性质和检测方法三个方面展现了草甘膦的前世今生,并据此展开案例分析,揭示草甘膦与转基因作物的关系,接着将此案例与案例教学相结合,为案例融入课堂提供了思路,最后从多角度进行案例透视,探寻案例背后隐藏的社会真相,给出笔者从中获得的一些启示。

Abstract: The safety of glyphosate has been a subject of concern and debate since the release of IARC’s assessment report on the possible carcinogenic effects of glyphosate in 2015. In all kinds of cases,the “dispute over the safety of glyphosate” has become a representative event of agricultural inputs affecting food safety and ecological health because of its significance,complexity,and tortuosity. The reason why this case is so important is due to the widespread use of glyphosate and its dominance in the herbicide market. The complexity of the case is reflected in the breadth of its scope and impact with its inextricable links between economics,politics,education,and other areas. While tortuosity refers to following the carcinogenicity assessment of IARC,no risk assessment results released by the international agencies have made the fate of glyphosate runs dramatically. This article firstly reviews the development of the whole case,and states the participants of the event,then systematically introduces glyphosate from the development course,the physical,chemical properties and detection methods. Based on this,case analysis was conducted to reveal the relationship between glyphosate and GM crops. Next,combine this case with teaching methods and provide a way for the case to be integrated into the classroom. In the end,from multiple perspectives,the author develop a case study,explore the hidden social truth behind the case and give some enlightenment gained from it.
