Elimination of POPs& Land Management-Ghana.wmv

Golinga Irrigation Project promotes best management to sustainable rice-fish farming. Local Soil erosion which is a result of excessive use of agro-chemicals ( POPs) has affected the rice production. Trainings are provided to local farmers with regard to sustainable land management to increase rice production without chemicals. Farmers construct fish ponds, and also prepare fishmeal to feed fish in ponds. The fishmeal adds nutrient in the water and the water then is channeled to rice fields. Land production thus increases by 800% without chemical fertilizer. More women were employed. That rice are bagged and old locally, which greatly increase the income of local people. Commercial production of tilapia is also increased.
