The GEF SGP Project “Local communities actions in addressing degradation of lands contaminated with radionuclides” is successfully implementing the technology of managed pastures in Zhytomyr region

The project will enable intensive use of pastures during seven years and removal of radionuclides from the land which will contribute to the combat of land degradation and improve health of local residents.

Among food, e.g. milk, bread, vegetables, including potatoes, meat, mushrooms and berries, milk is the main source of radionuclides in the human body. Milk and the abovementioned products are still dangerous for the population of Zhytomyr region.

As a result of the Project, the infographics to represent the proposed technology was developed.
