No More Glyphosate NZ is an independent, community-funded project focused on transparency around glyphosate use, residues, and regulation in New Zealand. We investigate how pesticides, food production, and policy decisions affect public health and consumer clarity — so New Zealanders can make informed choices in a system that often hides the detail.
Underneath the PCE’s 2022 report sit consultant papers that reveal just how fragmented New Zealand’s chemical monitoring really is. Different regions measure different contaminants, making it difficult to track environmental fate — and helping explain why glyphosate can slip through the cracks.
Massey University soil research shows glyphosate doesn’t always stay put. Under certain NZ soil conditions it can move, stress clover and soil microbes, and potentially leach. What does this mean for farming and water protection?
In 2015/16, MPI promised to reassess glyphosate’s pre-harvest use after finding wheat residues above legal limits. Nearly ten years later, that promise remains unfulfilled — and instead of tighter safeguards, New Zealand faces proposals to raise allowable residues.
A supporter’s photo of cows grazing yellowing grass after spraying has raised big questions. It’s not just about residues — it’s about what no one is watching.
Six popular oat products were tested in New Zealand and none showed detectable glyphosate above 0.010 mg/kg. A reassuring result — for these specific batches.
Spraying weedkiller feels like a casual outdoor task — but inhalation exposure is real, even in calm air. If we need proper respirators, gloves, and covered skin just to apply these products safely… then maybe we should stop pretending this is just another gardening job.
Slasher isn’t a natural Roundup — it works in a completely different way. Here’s what New Zealanders need to know about how Slasher performs, where it struggles, and whether it’s a safer option for families, pets, schools, and community spaces.
When everyday exposure meets real life: one family’s fight with kidney cancer brings glyphosate’s risks into sharp focus. How safe are “safe limits” when lives are on the line?
Six months after launching to challenge MPI’s proposal to raise glyphosate residue limits, NoMoreGlyphosate.nz looks back on testing results, public pressure, and a collective effort that made a real difference — and why the next six months matter even more.
NZ Food Safety’s summary of glyphosate submissions keeps cereals at 0.1 mg/kg and bans pre-harvest use. A win worth celebrating — but with loopholes on animal feed, weak enforcement, outdated diet data, and Roundup® co-formulants, the fight for real food safety isn’t over.
