To support sustainable, regenerative farming, we call on farmers in our certification program to adopt Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which involves different cultural and biological practices to monitor and control pests, while minimizing the use of pesticides.
Our approach to reducing pesticides goes beyond phasing outhighly hazardous pesticides. It includes the implementation ofIntegrated Pest Management (IPM), a system wherein alternative methods to preventing and controlling pests are considered.
What can be done to reduce this reliance on pesticides and the negative consequences of pesticide use? A practical and cost-effective answer is integrated pest management (IPM).
We believe that pesticide use can be decreased by strengthening and balancing the functions of the agro-ecosystem and aim to achieve a change in mindset that first looks at the environmental and social components of managing pests, and sees external inputs such as pesticides as a last resort.
