No more Tsetse Fly in Zanzibar

The Farming World

Available for over a year

Tsetse fly has been eradicated in Zanzibar in three years using the sterile insect technique (SIT): seeding forests with sterile males, dropped from aircraft. Plus, improved donkey care in Morocco and the work of charity SPANA in caring for working animals. And a report from Taiwan on converting animal manure into ready-to-use fertilizer.
