From one hand, there are strict quality and safety measures used in conventional agriculture and some considerable development to have same controlled and certified sustainable systems such as organic farming on the other hand. In fact, alternatives agriculture systems have not guaranteed food safety, even if they intent do. Recently, there are movements in both consolidation of the wide range measures used in conventional agriculture and used them in the alternative productions systems.
