M8.5 An ideal chemical policy

After watching all of the provided videos and reading materials, I think it is essential for a toxin-free agriculture, food production, and processing chemical policy. This is an essential element to protect farm workers and their families, and the consumers from toxic chemicals from now and decades to come.

This will require environmental and health agencies, and agricultural product companies and suppliers to collaborate and use studies to innovate for use of non-toxic or non-chemical products to grow crops. This may include going back to traditional methods of tilting and avoiding monoculture. The government and stakeholders must also help farmer cultivate or regenerate for healthy agricultural lands through subsidies and incentives. Regular monitoring of products used on crops must be established to assure non-chemical contents. The government could also establish health agencies and facilities solely for farmers for health assessment, evaluation and treatment of chemical or toxin exposure.
