Educar Consumidores suggests that you specify the objectives in the following way:
1. Direct all efforts of CoCoFe to guarantee the food health of the population.
2. Maintain or increase world food production; including an effective campaign against waste.
3. Promote and strengthen organic agriculture both at the level of the peasant family, and sustainable urban agriculture.
4. Maximize the efficient use of plant nutrients to improve sustainable agriculture, encouraging organic agriculture
5. Minimize the environmental and human health impacts of contaminants such as heavy metals contained in fertilizers;
6. Increase food safety that fully guarantees food health, which is not reduced to biological contamination but of all kinds of toxic pollutants of agro-industrial origin
The best audience is the consumers in general, the farmers, the women who in general make the decisions of food consumption, the chefs, the health professionals who work in nutrition. Educating final consumers is an essential task for CoCoFe to fulfill its mission.
CoCoFe must include all synthetic fertilizers, biostimulants, pesticides, all inhibitors, attractants, repellents, physiological regulators, defoliants, fungicides, herbicides, genetically modified products, and in general products that have less than 30 years of proven safety study for human and environmental health in the short, medium and long term. All the mentioned products affect the fertilization and environmental health of the soil, which is why they must be taken into account.
CoCoFe should promote the use of fertilizers that guarantee through rigorous studies and controlled by external laboratories and with civil society surveillance, which do not affect human or environmental health in any way. IT MUST BE DECLARED FREE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SHOULD NOT BE KEPT INDEPENDENT OF THE INDUSTRY.
