The EU says Glyphosate has no "critical areas of concern". The US says it's "not likely to be carcinogenic". IARC says it's "probably carcinogenic".

I've been using these chemicals for the past couple of years, buying them in concentrate, diluting it inside a backpack sprayer, and applying it to 2 acres of uneven land that I don't want to let turn into a forest but also can't easily be mowed.

Is there a better / safer chemical? Or different way to achieve the same result?

Covering the land with salt would kill all plant life and trees and is "natural" and "safe for humans" but much worse for the land and soil from what I've read.

Edit: Guessing the downvotes are people who disapprove of herbicides. Fair. But the fact is there's demand for these products. If this chemical is banned, another one will pop up and there's no guarantee that it will be safer or better for us or the environment.
