Local farmers in Panchkhal of Kavre district have decided to stop using pesticides for farming purposes. Local farmers have slowly begun organic farming in their farms. The government has been carrying out Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs in the district but it has not carried out any programs in Panchkhal yet.
According to local villagers, they are now more aware of the harmful effects of pesticide use. A local cooperative has also launched a campaign to control pesticide use in the region. Many farmers in the region are into vegetable farming and had earlier received trainings from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). A few years ago, farmers in Panchkhal were using pesticides excessively to increase their yield.
The District Agriculture Development Office (DADO) is also helping the local farmers to be more aware of the adverse impact of pesticide use. Many farm products from Panchkhal are also exported to China through the Tatopani border.
