Abstract:

Based on the starting point of food safety control, pesticide residues in food have attracted extensive attention. Although pesticides play an important role in production quantity, the application and continuous development of pesticides exhibit an emerging harm to human health and ecological civilization. The effective management methods from four aspects including behavioral norms of producers and users, residues of planting environment and final products, and improvement of the life quality for people related to pesticides, and correct supervision and appropriate punishment for violations are discussed in this paper. Therefore, the balance point of the conflict between high and stable yield of farm products and pesticide application is highly desired.

Key words: food safety, whole process control, pesticide, pesticide residues, pesticide residue limit
