The wrong use of pesticides is believed to be a common practice in many farming communities, leading to the death of a number of farmers.Experts in Agriculture are therefore calling for a reviewed strategy on pesticide use to protect lives and increase yield.It is estimated that over 80 percent of local farmers rely on chemicals for insect and disease control on their farms.The mode of application of such chemicals has however left lots of negative impacts on human lives and that of the environment.The Presbyterian Agriculture Services has begun an advocacy project to reverse the trend with the launching of a book on pesticide crisis and the need for government action.The organization is seeking a regulatory framework to promote the safe and responsible use of agrochemicals by farmers.The campaign is also intended to ensure a pesticide risk reduction to farmers, consumers and the environment.The Regional Campaign Co-ordinator for the Presbyterian Agriculture Services, Philip Atiim is hopeful government will support the initiative.The National Director for Development and Social Service of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rev. Daniel Oppong-Wereko, hinted of the existence of fake pesticides and called for an increase in awareness creation to rid the market of the fake pesticides.The Presbyterian Agricultural Services believe the safe use of agrochemicals is essential for the growth of the agricultural sector and hopes enforcement of relevant policies will be made a national priority.
