Food Safety vis-a-vis Environmental Concerns.

All this is detrimental to agriculture as it depletes the nutritional contents of the produce and also causes bio-accumulation. Human activities are the main cause of global warming, which leads to rapid climate change. The enzymes which help in biological reactions are temperature and pH specific; hence show inefficiency at high temperatures. It’s a really scary situation as all this effects our overall well being .It takes a toll on our health and our body starts reacting adversely to such changes. In such a scenario it becomes imperative that we take care of the food that we consume.
