Pesticide organization began in 1982, when the government issued a decree regarding the creation of a scientific committee of these products. Despite this, as well as a list of forbidden pesticides distributed in 1992, government control and law enforcement is still weak. Nama is aimed at the older generation of farmers who don’t have access to newer technology, as well as those who are illiterate, and are not aware of the proper techniques of using pesticides nor the alternatives which are available. It will also educate them about the proper safety precautions, and the effects pesticides have on their health and the environment.
