	"Agriculture," from Puerto Rico: A Guide to the Island of Boriquén

	Agriculture
		Food-borne exposure to agricultural and environmental chemicals is of great public concern and, owing to the development of sensitive methods of detection, trace amounts of potentially harmful chemicals can be detected in many foods.
		In both cases their use needs to be properly managed to reduce the risk of possible contamination of agricultural produce with pathogens (harmful bacteria, especially E. coli 0157) and to avoid the possible contamination of ground and surface waters.
		Sustainable agriculture aims to farm foods in a manner that is efficient and productive while conserving and improving the environment and local communities.
