Go organic

Using pesticides is always bad, for plants, for animals, and for us. But I have been living enough with poorer third world village people to see that pesticides make the difference between having a good year and fearing death by hunger for the entire family. For richer people (generally speaking: Western people) it is simple to say: "this is unhealthy, I do not want to use it anymore", because we do not have so much at stake.

Just buy organic food :D

"Mkuluma" is singular so the plural "farmers" would change the meaning.
