No More Glyphosate NZ
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.
Running on Empty: How Glyphosate May Be Damaging Our Mitochondria
Mitochondria power your cells. What happens if glyphosate is draining their energy? A closer look at the silent impact of a common herbicide.
We’re Not Rats… But Maybe We Should Pay Attention Anyway
A new glyphosate study found tumors and early leukemia in rats at regulatory "safe" doses. Some say "we’re not rats" — but maybe that’s exactly why we should pay attention.
Glyphosate Evidence & Impact: What the Science Now Shows
Glyphosate was once hailed as safe. But new research shows risks to human health, soil, pollinators, and our food supply. Here’s why the evidence can’t be ignored.
Glyphosate’s Hidden Costs: Why the Cheapest Option Isn’t Always the Smartest
Glyphosate became popular partly because it was cheap and effective. But as concerns grow around resistant weeds, environmental exposure, and long-term sustainability, some people are beginning to question whether the lowest upfront cost always delivers the best long-term outcome.
Avoiding the Verdict? Bayer Settles Another Roundup Case—While Seeking Legal Immunity
Another Roundup trial, another quiet settlement. As Bayer avoids a jury verdict in Missouri, it's also asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block future lawsuits. What does this mean for accountability—and for New Zealand?
Want to Know Your Glyphosate Levels? Good Luck With That
Want to know if glyphosate is in your body? Good luck. Testing is nearly impossible to access in New Zealand—raising serious questions about transparency and public health oversight.
The Cost of Convenience: How Safer Weed Control Keeps Getting Priced Out
Thermal systems like steam and hot foam are safe, effective, and proven. So why do councils keep claiming they’re unaffordable? The answer says more about priorities than price.
What if glyphosate doesn’t just land where it’s sprayed?
We’re told glyphosate isn’t volatile. But when sprayed, it can become airborne—drifting into lungs, homes, and playgrounds. Some say it lingers for 72 hours. Should we be worried?
The Yield Myth: How Glyphosate May Be Undermining Crop Productivity
We were promised bigger harvests and better efficiency. But are glyphosate-based GM crops actually yielding less? Some scientists say yes — and the numbers back it up.
New Herbicide Mixes: Innovation or Illusion?
New herbicide mixes promise to replace glyphosate—but do they break our dependency or just delay it? Here's why real alternatives look different.
Steam and Foam: A Real Alternative for New Zealand Schools and Councils
Councils and schools overseas are ditching glyphosate in favour of steam-and-foam systems. Is it time New Zealand brought this chemical-free method back into public spaces?
Why Is It Only Honey? What Glyphosate-Free Certification Tells Us About the Rest of Our Food
New Zealand honey producers are going glyphosate-free to protect export markets—but what about the rest of our food? Our test results reveal contamination even on spray-free farms.
