What are the Methods to Reduce Pesticide Residues in Food?
Several methods can reduce pesticide residues in food:
1. Washing and Peeling: Washing fruits and vegetables under running water and peeling them can significantly reduce surface residues. 2. Organic Farming: Organic farming practices avoid synthetic pesticides, resulting in lower pesticide residues. 3. Integrated Pest Management (IPM): IPM combines biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical tools to minimize pesticide use.
