By Elsa English


The society of today face challenges from numerous lifestyle ailments which have resulted from consuming of farm produces which have gone through numerous inorganic processing. As a result of this, concerns have been raised for setting up of measures to see to food safety consulting on farmers so as to grow natural farm products.

Modern agriculture has contributed to an increase of pathogens in humans that are drug resistant. This has led to an attack on it by the medical community and as a result the general public. The recent and most severe attack was noted on the words of WHO director general. The drug resistant bacteria are passed to the consumer through a food chain.

It is very true that the safe standards on food today have never been previously attained. Consequently the risks awareness contained in food that is unsafe creates chance of various risks unlike before. The recognitions have been boosted majorly thanks to the mass media. Pathogens, hormones plus the antimicrobial and remains from chemicals are what pose the risks.

New consumer demand has been satisfied by production and availing naturally products which have no hormones as well as antibiotics. This has acted as a safety measure. This however has had a negative impact on the farm products as people are losing trust on them, such products are those that have no label showing safety or high quality. There has been trade barriers set internationally on the products that are not up to standard in reference to 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 compulsory inspection remains indispensable although it has been futile in controlling and preventing developing pathogens which are food borne posing health threat to humans. Taking a look at meat as an example, years back ailments such as TB and brucellosis caused clinical ailments that were observable at farm stages and lesion recognizable during the inspection of meat. The pathogens of today like the toxoplasma are detectable through monitoring systems owing to their failure of lack of clinical symptoms.

Quality control checks have been placed where necessary in order to allocate quality categories on products before introducing them to markets. Due to lack of methods of correcting or upgrading final outputs, the products with high quality will be expensive while the lower products will sell cheaply. The cost on production of every quality being even, it turns to be wise to set on ways of minimizing losses.

From the above, it becomes prudent to follow up consultations of food safety in order to ensure that the health of the consumer is free from risks and also to optimize your profits by selling more natural produce. One can join seminars or pay a visit to agricultural institutes to get more knowledge on how you can grow your produce in a more organic manner.
