For the past two years, FAO has been working with Moldova to develop a national programme on Integrated Pest Management, or IPM. With more than 6 000 small-scale farmers now trained in techniques for minimizing pesticide use, project results were presented here today at a final workshop.

Entitled "Support for adaptation and implementation of Integrated Pest Management in Moldova," the project achieved its results through field training for farmers, provision of equipment, and capacity building.
