Projects
Capacity building to promote rural community to involve in pesticide reduction-A case of Chengguan village, Dali, Yunnan
Background: vegetable and rice; water resource region of Erhai lake (2nd. Biggest fresh lake in Yunnan); farming depend on pesticideAim: reduce pesticide usage; eliminate high toxic pesticide/illegal pesticide; sustainable pesticide reduction work
Results
Stop use of highly toxic pesticides like Methamidophos, and reduce insecticide at least 50%.
The use of organic fertilizers reached above 80% of the used fertilizers.
The leading farmers formed their own farmer training school authorized by local government, and organized farmers to carry out ecological farming practice, including use of traditional farming knowledge and methods like intercropping, rotating cropping, backlight trap for crop pests etc., and further reduce their reliance on agro-chemicals.
Leading farmers learnt how to write proposal for their community development and finally they successfully fundraised for their training and ecological agriculture development.
Outreach
In the past three years crop pests did not lead to significant economic loss, For example, rice production ranges between 600-800KG/mu (1mu≈666m2) and per capita incomes increase by about RMB300 each year in the past tw
o years.
Selected by government to be Ecological Model Village in Dali, so as to sharing their experience to more villages.
Promotion
NGO/CSO
Contain: organizational capacity building; facilitating to carry out related work; information support, etc.
Results:Some of them has already taken the concrete action in pesticide action, for example: The rural/urban prorgamme group of social work center of Yunnan University incorporated pe

Teachers’ capacity building; community agro-biodiversity value and sustainable use; agro-chemicals harms; agro-environmental improvement,
Results: Incorporated into educational plan and curriculum of 2 rural Primary School, and some
