在越南消費者從網(wǎng)上購買安全蔬菜

From VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture Report.

美國之音，英語教學，這里是農(nóng)業(yè)報道!

Vietnam is working to meet goals for food production and food security. In doing so, the government supports use of pesticides and other chemicals on crops. Farmers use these substances to help crops grow, and to protect them from insects and other threats.

越南致力于實現(xiàn)糧食產(chǎn)量及糧食安全的目標。在此過程中政府支持對農(nóng)作物使用農(nóng)藥或其他化學制品。用這些可以幫助農(nóng)作物生長，保護它們免受害蟲及其他威脅。

Signs around Vietnam carry the message "don't abuse pesticides, think of the buyer." But the government has fewer rules restricting the use of the pesticides. Some Vietnamese are so worried about the issue that they buy food only from growers they know, or they buy food online.

越南各地的廣告牌都在傳播“為消費者著想，不要濫用農(nóng)藥”的信息。但政府限制農(nóng)藥使用的規(guī)定很少。一些越南人非常擔心這個問題，所以他們只從熟識的種植者那買菜，或者上網(wǎng)買菜。

Tran Thuy Nhat is a 30-year-old mother who lives near Hanoi. She shops in the city center, but she worries about pesticides, so she buys vegetables only from people she knows in her village. If she did not, she says the food could harm her baby.

Tran Thuy Nhat30歲了，是一位媽媽，住在河內(nèi)附近。她在市中心購物，但是因為害怕農(nóng)藥，所以她只從她認識的村民那購買蔬菜。如果不這么做的話，食物可能會傷害到她的寶寶。

Not everyone knows a trust for the farmer, but there is a website that can help. It lists stores in Hanoi that sell "safe vegetables". The Vietnamese buyers group Vinastas set up the website in 2011.

并不是每個人都信任農(nóng)民，但有一個網(wǎng)站可以幫到。它列舉了河內(nèi)賣“放心菜”的商店。越南的消費者組織在2011年建立了這個網(wǎng)站。

Dang Kiem Hien is part of the team that runs the site. Ms Hien says stores have to meet requirements to be included on the website. For example, they have to prove that they get their vegetables from farmers who do not use chemicals. Ms Hien says a store will be removed from the list, if it does not obey the rules.

Dang Kiem Hien是經(jīng)營這家網(wǎng)站的成員之一。Hien女士表示商店必須達到相關(guān)要求才能在網(wǎng)站上顯示。比如說，他們必須要證明他們的蔬菜是從沒有用過農(nóng)藥的農(nóng)民那采購的。如果商店不遵守網(wǎng)站的相關(guān)規(guī)則，就會被撤銷。

Eduardo Sabio is with VECO, a Belgian non-government agricultural group. It supports the local website. Mr Sabio says pesticide misuse in Vietnam is a real problem.

Eduardo Sabio就職于VECO，這是一家比利時的非政府農(nóng)業(yè)組織。它為這家當?shù)鼐W(wǎng)站提供支持。Sabio先生表示，濫用農(nóng)藥在越南是一個現(xiàn)實的問題。

"The government has a list of pesticides that are allowed, but almost always there are "illegal" pesticides that get over the border and get to the farmers," Sabio said.

Sabio表示“政府對可以使用的農(nóng)藥有一個清單，但總有不合法的農(nóng)藥越境被賣到農(nóng)民手里。”

Mr Sabio says the Vietnamese safe food website uses what is known as the Participatory Guidance System. It supervises food safety through quality reports from farmers groups, traders and local officials. The system is used in more than 20 countries around the world. And Mr Sabio says Vietnamese farmers keep detail notes about their pesticide use as well as that of neighboring farmers.

Sabio先生表示越南安全食品網(wǎng)站用所謂的參與式指導(dǎo)系統(tǒng)。通過來自農(nóng)民、商人和地方官員的質(zhì)檢報告監(jiān)督食品安全。這個系統(tǒng)被全世界20多個國家使用。Sabio先生還表示越南的農(nóng)民會對自己以及鄰居在農(nóng)藥使用方面做詳細記錄。
