Abstract

Safe food is a fundamental food right of humans, and feeding the growing population is a challenge. To increase food production, the input used like pesticides is unavoidable, as evidenced by the current rise in their use. As a result, there is a significant challenge in increasing food production while keeping residue levels below MRLs. The risks associated with improper pesticide use include pest resistance, resurgence, secondary pest outbreaks, pesticide residues, environmental contamination, and risks to human health. There are many pesticide residue mitigation options for reducing pesticide-related hazards. Pesticide management rules and regulations should be harmonized to facilitate smooth trade. All the international forums like FAO, WHO, OECD, PAN, WTO, and international conventions could play a vital role in facilitating pesticide management options, particularly for low-income and developing countries. This chapter discusses the present pesticide residue problems in the world, its analysis techniques, and potential mitigation measures to keep pesticide residue levels below MRLs.
