In the Gezira
region farmers grow cotton and wheat, one year, the crops were attacked by lots
of hungry insects, the farmers sprayed their crops with a pesticide, it was
very strong and killed most of the insects, the crops grew well and the farmers
were happy. The next year the farmers had to spray their crops again because
some of the insects which had nod been killed had multiplied. The farmers had
to use more pesticide this time, the crops soon looked good again. After the
crops were harvested the fields were
very good grazing land, Ahmed always made sure his sheep went into the best
fields, these were the fields which had been sprayed with pesticide and the
sheep ate a lot of grass. Soon the sheep began to grow thin and didn’t produce
milk, Ahmed didn’t know that the green grass was covered in pesticide and
pesticide was making these sheep ill. Ahmed’s brothers and sisters were also
ill because they drunk the milk from the sheep.
