Moldova still faces the after-effects of intensive use of dangerous pesticides in agriculture under the former Soviet Union. A NATO Trust Fund is helping the country to destroy these harmful chemicals.
This NATO-sponsored project is focused on helping Moldova to destroy more than one thousand tons of harmful pesticides, fertilizers and dangerous chemicals. NATO has joined the Moldovan Ministry of Defense and 13 donor countries, led by Romania, to put an end to this environmental risk and clear threat to human health.
Includes footage of NATO workers dressed in white suits and wearing masks loading the pesticides on trucks in two different locations. Furthermore, since it is a regional problem, there are images of the river Dniester that separates Moldova from Ukraine. Also, images of farmers working on crops and people buying food in an open-air market.
Footage contains interviews with Mariana Grama, Head of the Ecology and Environmental Protection Section at the Moldovan Defence Ministry; Billur Sakintuna, NATO Support Agency (NSPA); Marius Gabriel Lazurca, Romanian Ambassador to Moldova.
