some concerns regarding the insect population is a brazen statement. We lost more than 90%of the insect biomass in western Europe compared to just five decades ago. We are on the verge of our biosphere collapsing.
There is plenty alternatives to herbicides. But they require to create a healthy balance, do crop rotations, operate smaller fields with more variation and so on. So the stuff that would benefit small farmers instead of big agro-conglomerates.

Glyphosate is hardly a main culprit. As you said, it’s a herbicide. It’s designed to kill plants, not insects. That doesn’t make it safe for insects and there are indeed issues, but it’s a fairly safe bet that the continuing use of insecticides that are actually made to kill off insects, is a much larger concern.
