| A farmer conducts a rapid test for pesticide residue |
The second session of a special workshop for farmers in the
Plum Mitan area took place on 31st October 2017.
This activity was an undertaking of the "Improving Forest and Protected Area Management in Trinidad and Tobago" project. It was developed to assist in
addressing threats to the Nariva Swamp Environmentally Sensitive Area, presented
by the use of harmful chemicals including extremely toxic pesticides.
In this session of the two-day workshop, the farmers learned
about some options for conducting self-checks for their personal, produce and
consumer health. Learn more about the workshop
