Wiley-Blackwell - Globalizing Integrated Pest Management

Globalizing Integrated Pest Management: A Participatory Research Process explores the effective generation and cost-effective dissemination of IPM. This book examines the necessity of a participatory approach that leverages the comparative advantages of various stakeholders, including farmers, scientists, extension workers, policy makers, and input suppliers. By addressing the debate between scientist-led research and farmer-led knowledge, the text demonstrates how effective IPM research programs involve farmers directly. The content considers the importance of the environment across multiple dimensions, including natural resource, social, cultural, economic, and institutional factors. This Wiley-Blackwell publication provides a framework for understanding how diverse participants work together to implement successful pest management strategies on a global scale.
