Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is increasingly critical to addressing evolving pest pressures in U.S. agriculture, from resistance management to emerging threats that threaten farmer livelihoods. As a science-based approach, IPM integrates biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools to reduce economic, environmental and health risks. However, adoption remains uneven due to limited awareness, uncertain return on investment and high transaction costs.
Advancing IPM will require stronger innovation, improved valuation of its benefits and deeper collaboration across agriculture producers, advisers, researchers, conservationists and industry partners. This webinar series is designed to inform stakeholders, build momentum and foster cross-sector dialogue.
