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.
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.
As glyphosate resistance spreads globally, early signs are emerging here in New Zealand. If our most relied-on weedkiller stops working—what's the plan?
A new study reveals that even brief contact with glyphosate can change gene expression in bees' brains. What does that mean for pollinators—and for us?
Glyphosate doesn’t just wash away. It can linger in soil for months—sometimes years—building up over time and disrupting the microbial life that plants depend on. From farms to schoolyards, this invisible residue may be contaminating the very ground our food grows in—and our children play on.
Glyphosate is often sprayed with precision — but it doesn’t always stay where it’s sprayed. This article explores the overlooked risk of spray drift, and how it may be exposing our communities, ecosystems, and children to harm without consent or warning.
Glyphosate doesn’t just kill weeds — it can disrupt soil health, affecting microbes, earthworms, and long-term productivity. Are we risking our soil’s future?
Many Kiwi gardeners still rely on glyphosate out of habit, but safer options exist. From natural weed control methods to glyphosate-free weedkillers now available in New Zealand, here’s how to protect your garden without harming your soil, your health, or the environment.
Earthworms are disappearing from our soils — and it’s not just a coincidence. Studies suggest that glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide, may be playing a role. As the cornerstone of healthy soil, earthworms are vital to ecosystems. So why aren’t we talking about how herbicide exposure might be affecting them?
