China Guangdong Agricultural Pollution Control

closed

The development objective of the Guangdong Agricultural Pollution Control Project for China is to reduce water pollutant releases from crop and livestock production in selected areas of Guangdong province. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is environmentally friendly crop production. This component includes four subcomponents: a) soil nutrient management; b) Integrated Pest Management (IPM); c) Conservation Agriculture (CA) pilots; and d) implementation support to beneficiaries. The second component of the project is livestock waste management. This component provides sub-grants to beneficiary farms to partially finance the construction of LWM facilities to promote the proper collection and treatment of pig manure; and output based sub-grants to finance the incremental costs incurred in the construction of pilot high-rise pig production facilities. The third component of the project is Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Capacity Building and Knowledge Management (KM). The fourth component of the project is project management. This component will support activities to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Project Management Office (PMO) and the Project Management Units (PMUs) to implement the project, including provision of incremental operating costs.
