Phasing out Highly Hazardous Pesticides is possible!

Farmer experiences in growing coffee without endosulfan

''This leaflet aims to inform policy makers
about successful farmer experiences in
managing coffee pests without the
insecticide endosulfan. It demonstrates that
phasing out of Highly Hazardous
Pesticides (HHPs) in favour 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 to improve
chemicals management and promote
sustainable agriculture in the context
of the Basel, Rotterdam and
Stockholm (BRS) conventions."
