文档介绍：Pest control requirements for use in
Organic Farming &
Food Production
Introduction
Recent years have seen an increased demand in the UK for food produced
organically. The ethos anic production is based on producing food in a
sustainable manner which has not been treated with chemicals, either at the
growing stage or post-harvest when the produce is processed, packed, stored
and distributed.
This has naturally had an impact on the pest control industry. In treating
manufacturing, processing plant and storage facilities anic products for
infestations, most pest control operations employing pesticides are either restricted
or not permitted at all.
Responding to calls from pest panies who wish to provide a service to
processing and storage businesses with a Soil Association accreditation, the British
Pest Control Association has worked closely with the Soil Association in the
development of their standards for pest control anic farming & production.
The pest control standards form part of a much larger document, entitled Soil
Association Standards anic Farming & Production, which covers general
standards for food importing, distribution, processing, packing and catering.
The aim of this leaflet is to provide a quick reference for pest panies
providing a service anic premises. Copies of plete standards are
available (Price £30) from the Soil Association at the
