The modern society has been affected by various lifestyle diseases that are mostly resulted by the consumption of farm products that have undergone a lot of inorganic processing. This has led for call to the relevant authorities to set up measures to ensure food safety consulting is done by the growers in order to come up with more natural farm produce.
The recently practiced agriculture has aided in the rise of drug resistant pathogens in humans. This has resulted to its attack by medical society and consequently the general public. The most recent severe attack was eminent on the writings of director general of WHO whereby he put it that the drug resilient bacteria get transmitted through a food chain into the consumer.
It is true that food has never attained safe standards as today but the awareness of the risks contained in unsafe foods creates the likelihood of more risks than ever. The general recognition has received major support from the mass media. The risks are mainly posed by pathogens, hormones and antimicrobial and residues from chemicals.
The creation of safety measures such as selling products that have been produced naturally without hormones and antibiotics has created new consumer demand. This has on the other hand led to a greater extent of distrust in farm products that do not have the label showing high quality or safety. Internationally there has been erection of trade barriers restricting farm products that do not meet the standards of the importing country.
The consumers have grown a tendency to demand for farm products that are fresher and raised naturally. This results to the increase in consumption of produce which is not processed or processed very minimally than the products which have undergone various procedures in processing prior to reaching the markets. The fresher is the produce, the more the consumer is safe from pathogens or contaminants from the raw materials.
The mandatory inspection is still indispensable though it has failed to control and prevent emerging pathogens that are food borne and pose risk to human health. Looking at meat for example, in the past, diseases like brucellosis and tuberculosis caused clinical diseases which could be observed at farm levels and lesion that would be recognized during meat inspection. The modern pathogens like toxoplasma are detectable only via targeted monitoring systems as they do not show clinical symptoms.
Checks on quality control have been put in place so as to assign quality categories to products prior to making it available in market places. Owing to lack of ways in correcting or upgrading of final product, the high quality product will sell at higher prices while non-marketable ones will have to be cast-off. The production cost of all the qualities being equal makes it important to come up with measures on reducing of losses.
Given the above, it turns to be prudent to look for consultations regarding food safety so as to ensure health problems are reduced while also making you be at a good position to make good profits. For consultations, you can attend seminars or visit agricultural institutes for further knowledge on how to farm in an organic manner.
