strategies, which rely heavily on pesticides, are generating ecological disruption that creates conditions biased against small
producers. Lack of knowledge of the hazards inherent in the technology and the resulting emergence of pesticide resistant
pests, crop losses, environmental contamination, and public health problems,pose serious obstacles to the survival of smallscale
