03. Securing Safety of Agricultural Products
Agenda 3 aims at developing techniques for producing agricultural products that are safe for consumers. It promotes technical support to produce safe agricultural products through research geared toward ¡°Developing the foundation for managing and producing safe agricultural products that are acceptable to G7 developed countries.¡± The goals are:
(1) establishment of science-based risk assessment system for agricultural products;
(2) domestic consumption and export expansion by means of securing safety of agricultural products from farm to table;
(3) development and distribution of practice and crop-specific good agricultural practices (GAP) system or model; and
(4) development of management techniques for plant diseases, insect pests, and weeds to produce clean and healthy crops.
The National Academy of Agricultural Science (Department of Agro-food Safety and Crop Protection) will lead in implementing this agenda for developing and expanding scientific researches. Participating institutes include the National Institute of Crop Science, National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, the provincial departments of plant protection, and various universities. The figure below shows the cooperation strategy and research needed for this agenda to succeed.
