  Less chemicals will lead to better crops

  The use of pesticides is increasing steadily in South and Southeast Asia. Using excessive amounts of pesticides is a major problem and many of the chemicals that are used are illegal in the Western countries. In order to reduce health problems and improve the harvest, Sida supports a programme that promotes a good management of chemicals in the region. The participating farmers get a chance to learn about the advantages of using less pesticide in the fields, in favour of more biological methods.
