Descripción
Water pollution in the LitaniRiver and Lake Qaraounarea poses serious problems for human health and the surrounding environment. Pollution originating from the agricultural sector is predominantly due to runoff from excessive and indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides. It is therefore crucial to promote the application of good agricultural practices (GAP) targeting the most prolific crops and farmers. This project thus sought to dispel the misconceptions surrounding reduced agrochemical use through the implementation of pilot plots and the provision of direct technical assistance to potato farmers.
