377 POSTS0 COMMENTS
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.

“Not Our Department”: How Glyphosate Risks Keep Slipping Through the Cracks
Who’s protecting the people who spray glyphosate?
