Details

Analysis – Why the BMP worked or did not work?: NGO undertook a ‘contest’ to identify 25 local farmers to participate in the trials of organic/environmentally friendly methods. Had contract with farmers and all farmers paid 25 lei (approximately 2 USD) to be involved. This was considered important to ensure the ‘ownership’ of the activity by farmers.

Description: Informing and training a group of 25 farmers in order to apply nonpolluting agricultural practices, no use of pesticides or other toxic substances on private terrains. Farmers, youth, students and other categories of citizens and agricultural terrains owners were involved in rehabilitation and changing for better the environment.
