The State Comptroller's report shows that the scope of use of pesticides in Israel increases significantly. Israel consumes up to 10 times more pesticides than the volume of agricultural produce.
Israel ranks ninth in the world in pesticide use relative to agricultural areas, ahead of only developing countries such as China and Ecuador. Pesticides are an important link in the modern food supply chain - protecting crops from various pests. However, given the dangers these substances bring, it is necessary to monitor their dosages in everyone's food.
