Overview

Review examines atmospheric pesticide drift's risks to organic supply chains, highlighting regulatory gaps and mitigation options.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how atmospheric pesticide drift affects the integrity of organic farming and its supply chains.
  • Synthesis of current research on airborne pesticides as contamination pathways.
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of drift-mitigation strategies based on quantitative evidence.
  • Examination of regulatory frameworks regarding organic certification and contamination.
  • Identified atmospheric pesticide drift as a major cause of synthetic pesticide contamination in organic crops.
  • Highlighted significant financial and reputational risks for organic farmers due to external pollution.
  • Emphasized critical deficiencies in current regulatory frameworks affecting organic farming credibility.
