| Striving to make a living and eat during a slow economy, Cambodian farmers in Kandal province said this week they continue to use whatever pesticides they can affordably obtain and that they often spray without wearing protective masks and gloves. Cambodia's Ministry of Agriculture is running a campaign to increase awareness about pesticide use. More than 80 percent of Cambodia's 14 million people live in rural areas and heavily depend on farming. (Pich Samnang, Kandal province, VOA Khmer) |
