VOA慢速英语:Vietnamese Consumers Shop for 'Safe' Vegetables Online

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.
越南正在努力实现粮食生产和粮食安全的目标。在此过程中，越南政府支持对农作物使用农药和其它化学品。农民们利用这些物质来帮助作物生长，并保护他们免受虫害和其它威胁。

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.
越南各地的广告牌都在传播“为消费者着想，不滥用农药”的信息。但政府限制农药使用的规定很少。一些越南人非常担心这个问题，所以他们只从认识的种植者那买菜，或者上网买菜。

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.

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.
不是每个人都知道农民的信誉，但有一个网站可以提供帮助。该网站列出了河内市销售“安全蔬菜”的商店。越南消费者组织Vinastas于2011年建立了该网站。

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 there 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.

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就职于VECO，这是一家比利时的非政府农业组织。它为这家当地网站提供支持。Sabio先生称，滥用农药在越南是一个现实的问题。

"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说，“政府有允许使用的杀虫剂名单，但总是有非法杀虫剂越境进入农民手中。”

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先生称表示，越南安全食品网站采用了所谓的参与式指导体系。它通过来自农民团体、商人和地方官员的质量报告来监管食品安全。该体系被全世界20多个国家所采用。Sabio先生还表示，越南农民会对自己及邻近农民的农药使用情况进行详细记录。
