Design a short two-step protocol a small produce farm should follow to minimize pesticide-residue violations and align with federal oversight from farm to retail. Which two steps best synthesize agency roles and practical farm actions?

Apply any pesticide at double the labeled concentration for faster degradation and then heat-treat produce before shipping to ensure residues fall under tolerances enforced by USDA.

Cease all pesticide use entirely and rely solely on consumer washing at retail to remove residues, because EPA tolerances are advisory and responsibility shifts to buyers.

Apply pesticides according to EPA-approved label instructions to meet established tolerances and maintain records; implement pre-harvest intervals and routine residue testing, then provide documentation to buyers so FDA enforcement at processing/retail can be supported if needed.

Rely on the CDC to certify produce safety after harvesting, since CDC handles food safety education and will issue farm-level clearance certificates for retail distribution.
