Same as above
Preventive environmental health
measures are as important, and at
times more cost-effective, than health
treatment.
Use of pesticides e.g. indoor spraying
of DDT may be necessary to protect
malaria.
Also use of DDT may have long term
health impacts
Under each goal there are about 106 operational targets and hundreds of
strategies to achieve the targets. Some of the strategies that have direct link to
pesticide use are as follows:
Strategy
Link
Increasing productivity in agriculture
through technological innovations,
improved extension services training

Use of pesticides may be necessary to
increase livestock productivity
Unsound use of pesticide may have

Subsidies may promote access to
agricultural inputs such as pesticides
and fertilisers. This move may boost
food production.
Again unsafe use of pesticides and
fertiliser may adversely affect the
human health
Increasing rural food production – use
of pesticide and fertilisers with similar
