How grafting helped me grow

For many years, methyl bromide, a fumigant that can deplete the ozone layer and is harmful to human health, was sprayed on soil before crops were grown in order to control soil-borne diseases. As part of a project to eliminate the use of methyl bromide, implemented by UNIDO in several states in Mexico, workers - especially women - have been trained in the use of alternatives to methyl bromide, such as the technique of grafting.
