Eradicating the pesticide problem in Latin America
Article Abstract:
Pesticide use and misuse in Latin America causes widespread illness and death there and leaves dangerous residues on much of the produce that the region exports to the US and elsewhere. Many of the pesticides used are US exports, and companies can make a number of changes to ensure the safe use of their products. US policy improvements and consumer attention to the safety of food purchased canboth make a difference. New trade agreements have reduced pesticide use elsewhere but increased it in Latin America.
