How Can Toxicological Risks Be Mitigated in Agriculture?
Mitigating the toxicological risks associated with agricultural practices requires a multi-faceted approach:
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Combining biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools to manage pests in an environmentally and economically sustainable way. Organic Farming: Minimizing or eliminating the use of synthetic chemicals by relying on organic inputs and natural pest control methods. Regulatory Measures: Enforcing strict regulations on the use, labeling, and disposal of agricultural chemicals to ensure safety. Education and Training: Providing farmers with information and training on safe handling, application, and alternatives to harmful chemicals.
