Resumen
Descripción
Pesticide residues in foods, farmers’ exposure to pesticides, and environmental pollution are serious concerns in Nepal. Risks from pesticides are high because of the lack of knowledge of farmers, limited training and awareness on the safe production of food crops, the absence of an effective code of practices, and inadequate residue monitoring. The project aimed to enhance the pesticide management capacities of the public and private sectors and farmers, in order to reduce pesticide residues in agricultural products.
