Totally agree with FAO on this, especially #2 Promoting the uptake of toxic heavy metals in staple crops is crucial for food safety and human health. Did you know that exposure to toxic heavy metals such as: - Lead (Pb): Neurotoxicity, cognitive impairment, developmental delays, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. - Mercury (Hg): Neurological damage, birth defects, and impaired cognitive and motor skills. - Arsenic (As): Cancer, skin lesions, cardiovascular disease, and neurotoxicity. - Cadmium (Cd): Kidney damage, bone demineralization, and increased risk of cancer. - Chromium (Cr): Respiratory problems, skin irritation, and increased risk of lung cancer. - Copper (Cu): While essential, excessive levels can cause liver damage, kidney damage, and neurological problems. can have severe health implications, including cognitive impairment, cancer, and even death? By adopting sustainable agricultural practices and using crop varieties that are resistant to heavy metal uptake, we can reduce the risk of contamination and ensure a safer food supply. Kudos to FAO for highlighting these critical issue!

Ok , me preguntó que política pública existe en los países más industriales para reducir y reciclar sus desecho. Cuánta accesibilidad ahí para el uso de vehículos híbridos. Que tecnología ahí para reciclar desechos y evitar la demanda de nuevos productos en el mercado y así en la industria.

I think you should do one on how humans can make the food supply less safe that might be better

Thus illusive information tactics in play. Who wants to list all the contributing factors related to Mercury poisoning? Anyone?
