| Synopsis: |
This book examines why and how current approaches to integrated pest management (IPM) have become established and identifies factors that need to change if more effective and sustainable IPM is to be developed. Taking an integrative approach, the book looks firstly at principles of population and community ecology and how they can be applied to agro-ecosystems, and what constitutes sustainability at an ecological level. Consideration is then given to the economic and socio-political issues that act to shape production and IPM at the farm level and exploration is made of the incentives and conflicts that shape the decision making process amongst key stakeholders (researchers, farmers, consumers, industry personnel and policy makers). |
