Summary

This document contains various good practices – developed by farmers, academic institutions, the government, and NGOs – that minimize water pollution from agriculture and livestock farming. Some of the good practices include the use of disease- and pest-resistant varieties, crop rotation, crop diversification, integrated pest management (IPM), biological pest controls, and soil testing, all of which can minimize the haphazard use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers. The document is designed for use by practitioners and extension specialists interested in adopting or scaling up good practices to address water pollution.
