Waging war on weeds
In central Zambia, farmers can use Spray Service Providers for advice, or to obtain reasonably-priced agrochemicals
© WRENmedia
In central Zambia, farmers have been trained to be Spray Service Providers in their communities. This means they can source the appropriate pest control chemicals at the right price, and can be hired to spray the crop. This is allowing farmers to cultivate bigger areas, and is helping aged farmers, who can no longer do hand-weeding, to continue farming.
