Pests and diseases are a continuous challenge in agriculture production. A wide range of control strategies have been and will continue to be developed. New control strategies are in almost all countries around the world assessed prior to approval for use in farmers' fields. This is rightly so to avoid and even reduce negative effects for human health and the environment. Over the past decades the approval processes have become increasingly politicized resulting in an increase in the direct approval costs and the length in approval time without increasing the safety of the final product. This reduces the development of control strategies and often has negative human health and environmental effects. Possibilities exist for improvements. They include reducing approval costs and approval time by streamlining the approval process and substituting approval requirements by strengthening ex-post liability. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
病虫害是农业生产中持续存在的挑战。已经并将继续开发各种控制策略。几乎所有国家在批准用于农民田间使用之前，都会对新的控制策略进行评估。这样做是正确的，以避免甚至减少对人类健康和环境的负面影响。在过去的几十年中，批准程序变得越来越政治化，导致直接批准成本增加，批准时间延长，而最终产品的安全性却没有提高。这减少了控制策略的发展，并且经常对人类健康和环境产生负面影响。有改进的可能性。它们包括通过简化审批程序和加强事后责任来降低审批成本和审批时间。© 2018 英国化学工程师学会。
