Sumario:"The program CampoLimpio is an environmental solution to empty containers of pesticides used in agriculture. CropLife Latin America promotes the responsible use of products for protecting crops jointly with authorities, distributors, business people, transporters, warehouse owners and farmers. The main challenge of CampoLimpio is strengthen the commitment and active participation of all sectors of the agricultural chain in the process of proper disposal of containers to expand coverage and increase the amount of material. CuidAgro(SM)* responds to the Crop Science Industry´s commitment to protecting the health of farmers and their personnel that has to manipulate the pesticides and is part of the productive agricultural chain. It’s actively supported by the Ministries of Health, Education, and Agriculture, universities, non-governmental organizations, Mayors’ Offices or municipalities, agricultural trade organizations and cooperation agencies like EPA, AID, IFAD, IICA and OPS.
