This publication examines pollution control technologies and looks at their suitability for use in small-scale agriculture.


Agriculture generates pollution that is diverse and complex. This publication explores how small-scale operations with limited resources can control pollution and manage health and safety issues. It compares major pollution control technologies, especially their cost-effectiveness in tackling air and water pollution and the solid and hazardous waste typical in agro-sectors. It provides analysis and recommendations on their suitability for small-scale operations, and offers insights into how environmental standards and pollution load control support environmental quality improvement.
