How We Assist Farmers
The Pesticides Control Board (PCB) is dedicated to supporting farmers through its Grow Safe campaign, which promotes the adoption of cleaner technologies throughout the pesticide lifecycle. Our initiative aims to enhance agricultural productivity while encouraging the implementation of climate-smart agricultural practices. By providing resources and guidance, we strive to help farmers reduce their reliance on highly hazardous pesticides, fostering a safer and more sustainable farming environment.
The Grow Safe Campaign
The GROW SAFE-Belize campaign, launched by the Pesticides Control Board in 2019, promotes best practices in pest and pesticide management to reduce pesticide misuse and enhance food safety. The campaign encourages the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a sustainable approach that prioritizes prevention, monitoring, and control to minimize risks to people and the environment. Additionally, it supports farmers in finding alternatives to Restricted Use Pesticides through training and technology transfer. Public involvement is key to the campaign’s success.
