B nin, mara ch re production constitutes a significant employment in urban environments, p roadbed source and especially the banks of rivers or the val es areas (Tiamiyou, 1995). Mara res ch repr cultures feel a food source e vari which complete tent well the needs of the populations of b ninoises l base power e compos mainly carbohydrates, primary food energy ticks (Amoussougbo, 1993). In the practice of this activity, dear mara are subject of the suffering my which hinder the development of this fili re d. Suffering me major those attacks from parasites that affect the quality of m win me that yields entered the missed kick nant to producers. To address this problem, lack of inputs of production specific producers, use cotton insecticides. The logical consequence that r has turned these bad practices is one hand contamination of the vegetables l produced by surrounding are residues of pesticides and d other hand gradual pollution the environment (soil, air, water, crops) and especially water courses by these pesticides. Ph name is d much more pr occupying when you know that most of these products are s consumed fresh State without a prior transformation in the preparation of difference pr annuities sauces and dishes d entr e. The submitted project entitled: are reduction of l impact of phytosanitary practices of mara display on the environment and human health derives its relevance from the fact that it allows rem dier pollution of the environment by integrating stakeholders growers in a process of learning for the mastering m alternative treatment for environmentally sustainable production methods. Activities remarks are by the project aim the establishment of s ease d account s of producers to pesticide recommended s and less toxic, the strengthening of their capabilities technical, mast hardware and organizational and setting up d a syst me d auto followed the quality vegetables l products and the protection of the environment. We must also stress l impact economic project on women in particular (l vegetable leaves and fruit production is much e performed by women as activity g n generator of income). L orientation towards pesticides less co t allows to reduce co production of vegetables and so d l t increase the gross margin resulting from these activities at the levels of these actors.
