    This note provides technical and operational guidance to stakeholders of the agriculture, food security and nutrition sector intervening in protracted crises, fragile and humanitarian contexts to ensure that children are not engaged in activities that could negatively affect their health, development or education, and are not employed in hazardous working conditions. It presents the basis to understand that agriculture, food security and nutrition programming in the aftermath of a crisis have po tentially both positive and negative effects on children. It also provides recommendations and concrete examples to address situations of child labour in agriculture in these contexts.

    Improving pesticide management has become a global priority to protect the human health and the environment. Pesticides are heavily used particularly in agriculture (and also in public health for pest control), where children are exposed to these pesticides as workers, bystanders, and consumers. They are particularly vulnerable to pesticide exposure for various biological and behavioural reasons.
