“A key stumbling block to reducing over-reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides in many countries in Southern Africa is the lack of effective policy frameworks to promote the inclusion of sustainable alternatives, such as biopesticides, in pest control programmes. The Southern Africa Biopesticides Project is playing a significant role in the development of such policy frameworks at a regional and, ultimately, country level.”
– Mr Kenneth Chipere, Principal Research Officer: Pesticide Registration, Research Services Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Mechanization and Irrigation Development, Zimbabwe; and member of the Southern Africa Biopesticide Projects’ Technical Working Group on regulatory harmonisation.
