Testing Agroecological Methods to Manage Pests in Cashew Production

The cashew sector is heavily reliant on chemical inputs, raising concerns for both environmental and human health. In response, the Green Cashew project (2022–2025) aims to promote agroecological and climate-resilient farming practices among cashew producers. The research aims to test agroecological solutions focused on improving soil fertility, pest and insect management, and reducing flower drop. An economic assessment will help determine whether these practices are viable and scalable for wider adoption.
