Given Hong Kong's population density and the variety of food
consumed here, ensuring food safety and a high standard of environmental
hygiene and animal health is a major challenge. The Government is
committed to meeting this challenge. It is also dedicated to helping
the local agriculture and fisheries industries to enhance the safety
and quality of their products so as to stay competitive. |
IN the face of new challenges and potential hazards arising from the
changing environment and the use of new technology, the Government has
devoted much effort to ensuring that the food the community consumes is
safe and that quality environmental hygiene and veterinary services are
in place to provide a living environment comparable to other major international
cities. It is also the Government's policy objective to facilitate the
sustainable development of the agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture
industries. |
