In indigenous communities where plantains are being produced by smallholders, highly toxic pesticides are increasingly used. By analyzing impact of pesticides on children and with implementation of alternatives to pesticides, the project aims to improve pesticide awareness and health of people living in the ‘Huetar Atlántica’ region.Text1 digital file (21 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenECOHEALTHENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHECOSYSTEM APPROACHESHUMAN HEALTHNEURODEVELOPMENT IMPACTS OF PESTICIDES EXPOSUREAGRICULTURE AND HEALTHAGROTOXINS AND HEALTHSMALLHOLDER ORGANIC AGRICULTUREFinal Technical Report
