Declining International Cooperation On Pesticide Regulation: Frittering Away Food Security
Tags: May T. Yeung

This Palgrave Pivot investigates barriers to international agricultural trade caused by a lack of standardized maximum residue levels (MRL) for pesticides.

This volume will contribute to that understanding.
