Resumen
Descripción
This leaflet aims to inform policy decision makers about successful farmer experiences in managing coffee pests without the insecticide endosulfan. It demonstrates that phasing out of Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) in favor of safe and cost-effective alternatives is entirely possible - on large estates and small family farms. The findings also serve as useful generic lessons for governments, farmers and other stakeholders on how improve chemicals management and promote sustainable agricultur e in the context of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) conventions.
