Pyrethroid residues in Indonesian cocoa powder: Method development, analysis and risk assessment
TL;DR: In this article, pyrethroids residues in cocoa powder were investigated and a simple method was specifically built and validated for cocoa powder pyrethroid analysis, which only employs low volume extraction and d-SPE clean-up before quantification.

TL;DR: Saravi and Shokrzadeh, 2011 as discussed by the authors have shown that the new area that can be increased for cultivation purposes is very limited and the increasing world population has therefore put a huge amount of pressure on the existing agricultural system so that food needs can be met from the same current current resources like land, water etc.
