    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.

ITP's methodology takes account of the desire to develop and reform that the participants' organization have expressed in their application to the program.
