A big step forward for pesticide dealers in Mali

摘要

Like other countries in the Sahel region, Mali's approach to achieving food security includes a series of measures providing farmers with agricultural inputs such as pesticides, in order to protect crops and harvests. In parallel to this policy for sustained agricultural output, the authorities must also promote sound ecological management, recognising that all pesticides - whether obsolete or registered for use - are toxic and pose risks to the environment, animal and human health.
