Question

Give one method which could be applied to reduce our intake of pesticides through food to some extent.

Answer 1

Methods to reduce pesticide intake are:

1. We can try to avoid the usage of chemical pesticides as much as possible.
2. We can try to give more emphasis on eating organic food.
3. We should be careful and wise while choosing fish or meat products.
4. We should try to instill vegetarian feeding habits because the plants belong to lower trophic levels, and that’s the reason they have less accumulation of insecticides and pesticides, whereas the organisms of higher trophic levels have higher accumulation of insecticides and pesticides.
