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 producers, advisers, researchers, conservationists and industry partners. This webinar series is designed to uncover those opportunities, strengthen connections across sectors and accelerate adoption of IPM solutions.

This session will highlight leadership perspectives on how IPM can support resilient, economically viable and environmentally sound agricultural systems. It is the first in a three-part series convened by FFAR and the IPM Alliance to inform stakeholders, build momentum and foster dialogue across agriculture, conservation, policy and supply chain communities.
