Abstract :

Concern over the pollution of our food supplies with hazardous pesticide residues has increased as a result of the debate in India over pesticide residues in food. Unfortunately, the discussion was limited to the rules and regulations for food and water purity at the point of consumption. It is common to overlook the more serious issue of the poisoning of all natural resources with chemical pesticide residues as a result of subpar and dangerous agricultural technology used at the farm level. No amount of standard-setting at the consumer level will be able to remedy the issue if the fundamental issue is not resolved, particularly in developing nations where regulation enforcement is infamously lax or nonexistent. Despite some pesticides being outlawed, due to their unlawful use and persistence, their residues continue to be present in food and the environment. In order to prevent the illicit use of pesticides, it is crucial to spread awareness of GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) among farmers.
