Pesticide Residues and Food Safety –Challenges and Regulations
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Feeding the expanding population is a difficulty, even though access to safe food is a fundamental human right. Given the present rise in their use, it is evident that inputs like pesticides are necessary to increase food production. Growing food output while maintaining residue levels below MRLs is therefore extremely difficult. When pesticides are used improperly, there are hazards of pest resistance, revival, secondary pest outbreaks, pesticide residues, environmental contamination, and health problems for humans. To lessen the dangers associated with pesticides, there are numerous approaches for mitigating residue. The unification of pesticide management policies is necessary to promote seamless commerce. In order to safeguard public health, it is critical to harmonize pesticide laws worldwide and enhance food safety procedures, as food systems are under threat from hitherto unheard-of threats.
