The new code for pesticide management issued by UNFAO on the 25th day of this month calls on all nations to update their pesticide regulatory framework.

According to Wang Ren, the Assistant Director-General of FAO Agriculture and Consumer Protection, the FAO encourages all nations to refer to these codes when reviewing current pesticide legislation and labeling system for the purpose of protecting human health and environment and facilitating sustainable development for agriculture.

The official website of FAO claims that the new codes detailing all elements to be included in the national pesticide legal framework can be referred to by governments when drafting, reviewing, and updating current pesticide legislation.
