How to Reduce The Use of Biocides

Buy organically grown food

Because organic farmers do not use biocides, buying their produce will ensure that an increasing area of land is farmed without the use of chemicals.

Buy fresh produce

Significantly more chemicals are used on food crops which are destinated to be packed and sold far away from their place of origin. Although fresh produce may take time to prepare, it does not encourage the use of biocides.

Ban biocides at home

It is not good insisting that farmers should not use chemicals if they are still used in and around home. Avoiding the use of garden biocides is an important part of reducing the general level of these poisons.
