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.
A widely cited glyphosate safety study has finally been retracted—but the real story is how it remained in circulation for decades after concerns were already public. This article examines the timeline, the role of ghostwriting, and what it reveals about how scientific knowledge is formed, maintained, and sometimes left unchallenged.
Modern chemical safety limits are designed to prevent obvious harm. But what exactly do glyphosate “safe levels” measure — and what might they miss? This article explores pesticide residue limits, chronic exposure, oxidative stress, and the growing scientific debate around long-term biological effects.
Scientists are increasingly studying oxidative stress as a possible biological mechanism linked to glyphosate exposure. But what exactly is oxidative stress, and why does it matter?
A recent study explored whether glyphosate exposure may trigger subtle biological stress long before disease becomes visible. The findings raise important questions about oxidative stress, metabolomics, and how we define chemical safety.
When food tests show “low levels” of glyphosate, what exactly is being measured? This article explores what laboratories test for, what they don’t, and why real-world chemical exposure is often more complex than it first appears.
A year ago, a proposal to increase glyphosate residue levels in New Zealand sparked questions. This article looks at what followed—from submissions and decisions to testing and ongoing uncertainty.
Want to understand how herbicides are used in your local parks, playgrounds, and streets? This guide walks you through what to ask, how to contact your council, and where to start—without needing a fixed position.
Across New Zealand, herbicides are widely used in parks, playgrounds, and along streets—but how much do we really know about where, why, and how often? This article takes a closer look at how public space weed control works, what alternatives are being explored, and how a simple question to your local council can open the door to greater transparency.
Not getting clear answers from your council? LGOIMA is a simple, formal way to request the information they hold. Here’s how it works in plain English—and when to use it.
Most pesticide safety limits are based on one chemical at a time. But what happens when exposure involves many at once? A new study explores the real-world risks of pesticide mixtures—and what that could mean beyond the lab
When Nestlé Cerelac Regular Wheat baby cereal was tested overseas, the result wasn’t dramatic—but it raised a question.
In our earlier article, Baby Cereal Sold...
