agrochemical regulation

Agrochemical regulation involves government oversight to ensure pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals used in farming are safe for humans, animals, and the environment. Regulators review scientific data to assess potential risks, establish approved use guidelines, and enforce rules to prevent harmful impacts. The goal is to balance effective crop protection with health and environmental safety, managing the introduction and use of agrochemicals responsibly. This process helps ensure that agrochemicals contribute to sustainable agriculture without causing unintended harm.
