This project aim to sensitize farmers about the harmful effects of pesticides when not used properly and the need for using pesticides properly. Farmers would be trained on pesticide handling, storage, and the proper use of personal safety gears. Farmers would be trained on how to identify harmful and prohibited pesticides. Protective gears would be supplied to farmers and encourage them to pay a cost recovery amount which would be kept in a locally controlled account for sustainability. The payment should be either in cash or in kind using their produce after harvest and the amount to be paid would be determined by them. Pesticides would be supplied to the farmers free of cost in the first phase of the project immediately after training to discourage the illegal trading of these chemicals. Subsequent supplies would be paid for at cost recovery prices. Pesticide use in rice fields and its potential effects on the environment and the health of rice farmers would be monitored. Field observations would also be done. Soils, rice and biota samples were from rice fields would be analyzed for residual pesticides. The data obtained would be analyzed using appropriate statistical tools and findings would be summarized in a report to be submitted at the end of the project.
