Green food refers to pollution-free, pollution-free, safe, high-quality and nutritious food produced with the approval of relevant state specialized agencies according to specific production methods.
In many countries, green food has many similar names and appellations, such as ecological food, natural food, Der Blaue Engel food, healthy food and organic agricultural food. Because the word "green" has been used internationally to protect the environment and related undertakings, in order to highlight that this kind of food comes from a good ecological environment and strict processing procedures, it is called "green food" in China.

production process
The concept of green food has been accumulated and enriched for a long time.
In the process of human agricultural production, by adding a proper amount of various chemicals (including fertilizers, pesticides, ripening agents, pesticides, etc. ), can greatly improve the ability of crops to resist pests and diseases, thus greatly increasing the output, meeting the growing needs of human beings, and maintaining the balance between population and consumption level.
However, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the consumption concept of advocating nature, paying attention to safety and pursuing health has become more and more popular, making the emergence of green food a requirement of the times.
From the 1960s to the early 1970s, many western countries launched "Green Movement" and "Green Revolution". After a long period of development, the concept of green food has been gradually improved.
