| Description |
The agricultural school, for 16-25 year-olds, is funded by the UK to train new farmers to cultivate other crops, such as wheat, that they can grow both to feed their families and to sell without aiding the narcotics trade. Training farmers to cultivate such crops successfully and profitably is key to tackling the illegal drugs trade. Afghanistan currently produces 90% of the world’s opium, the key ingredient in heroin. The UK-led Provincial Reconstruction Team in Helmand Province is helping Afghanistan to tackle the country’s illegal drugs trade which destroys lives around the world. At this new training college, young Afghan farmers are learning to grow legal crops that can give them an alternative income to opium. Established farmers are destroying poppy fields so they can use the land to grow wheat and other crops from subsidised seeds. This work is seeing results - poppy cultivation in Helmand is falling as farmers start to grow new crops. To curtail the traffickers, Afghanistan’s counter narcotics police play a crucial role finding and destroying smuggled drugs before they leave the country.
