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.

Glyphosate-Free Weed Control in NZ: 5 Proven Alternatives That Work
More New Zealand growers are ditching glyphosate-based weedkillers and finding practical alternatives that work. From cover cropping and tine weeding to mulching and natural sprays, here’s how glyphosate-free weed control is already happening across NZ.
Below the Threshold, Above the Risk? Rethinking What Counts as “Safe” Glyphosate Exposure
Glyphosate exposure isn’t just theoretical—it’s measurable, rising, and more widespread than regulators admit. So why are we still hiding behind “safe” thresholds?
Long-Term Effects of Roundup on Soil: Hidden Impacts Revealed
What happens to soil after years of Roundup use? From microbes to minerals, we explore how glyphosate leaves a lasting—and often overlooked—legacy underground.
Timing the Spray or Breaking the Cycle?
Timing glyphosate just right can make or break a crop. But is that a warning sign? This article questions our harvest dependency and explores what’s next.
