Adler, John H.
The objective of the Productive Partnerships in Agriculture Project for Papua New Guinea is to improve smallholders' access to markets through the establishment of partnerships between the public and the private sector for improved provision of support services (technical and financial) as well as investments in market access infrastructure. Negative measures include: waste generated from coffee pulp and waste water, impact on the terrestrial and aquatic environment; air pollution; soil erosion; competition for scarce natural resources and food supplies; and deforestation. Mitigation measures include: a) promote that waste generated from the cocoa 'sweating 'process is placed under cocoa trees or in food gardens to allow natural decomposition.; b) have fertilizer, insecticides, and herbicides applied individually with its correct dosage and frequency; c) removal of aging coffee trees to be replaced by new seedlings together with filling gaps in coffee gardens; d) erosion control structures such as storm water diversion (catch) drains and bunds will be constructed and maintained to temporarily divert storm water around construction sites; and e) water and pit latrines shall be provided for employees. Use water pit latrines or composting toilets at residential construction sites.
