Conclusion
In our free society there is a place for people to grow and consume organic food, but if all our farmers decided against using farm chemicals, we would soon find ourselves in a grave situation.
Agricultural and veterinary chemicals are vital to our welfare and the protection of the health of our families and pets. Unless, and until, better, more efficient and more cost effective means of pest control are developed, farm chemicals will remain a major weapon in our constant battle against pests. They are an integral component of Australia's agricultural systems, and Australian agriculture as we know it today could not survive without them. Production would drop drastically, and food would be of poorer quality, more expensive and in short supply. Many pets and farm animals would suffer and die needlessly. Australia's economy and our standard of living would rapidly decline.
This dependency brings with it a responsibility. All concerned with the manufacture, distribution and use of farm chemicals must ensure these products are used to maximum advantage. This can be achieved by ensuring farm chemicals are used accurately and correctly. They must be used in conjunction with other pest control techniques as part of an integrated pest management approach. This is the only way agriculture can be environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. Operators must be competent and well trained, and all users must be environmentally aware.
By combining these principles with the long established regulatory safeguards, we can be confident that farm chemicals are effective and can be used safely. We can also be reassured that our food is safe, wholesome
