Did you know that 60% of pesticides used in Uzbekistan are banned in the EU? This overreliance on chemical-intensive farming threatens our health, the environment, and the global market potential of our agricultural products.
The new article prepared by the research fellows of CPRO discusses the issue of excessive use of pesticides in Uzbekistan. The article, published yesterday on Daryo.uz, is based on a detailed study, which will be published as CPRO policy brief later today.
The article discusses these issues:

Creating fast-track frameworks to promote eco-friendly biopesticides.
Providing financial incentives and training for farmers for greener practices.
Implementing robust monitoring, residue testing, and waste management systems.
