The Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Forestry, Marine Resources and Cooperatives, has once again collaborated with the National Chronic Non Communicable Disease Commission (NCDC), to educate farmers on the safe use of pesticides, as part of efforts to help them to understand and help them to take proactive steps to reduce the likelihood or impact of potential threats or problems, associated with improper pesticide use.
