Nowadays spraying chemicals is common among many farmers in different areas. These chemicals include pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides. farmers use herbicides to Control weeds which makes their work easier. fertilizers are used to improve soil fertility and increase Crop Production and pesticides used to Control pests that attack Crops in our gardens and fields.

I want to see a change in how farmers use chemicals. These chemicals Can help farmers to produce more food but use of them too much Can Cause harm to people, animals and the environment.

Long long ago, farmers used natural methods of Controlling weeds and pests. Today people spread chemicals but without thinking about negative effects. Using too much chemicals destroy the Soil and even water Sources like wells and rivers.

I want to see the change when people use natural methods of farming like Crop rotation, mulching, Covering Crops and using animal manure like Cow dung. farmers Can also learn on the Correct use of chemicals to use. They Can also plant trees in the environment and in many places like Schools So that Soil is protected.

I want to see the good environment when people breathe in good air so that they become healthy.
