Call for stakeholders to boost IPM

March 14, 2018

A pan-European group of IPM experts has drawn on the work conducted within the three-year European Research Area Network on Coordinated Integrated Pest Management (ERA-Net C-IPM) to produce a paper outlining the steps stakeholders can take to boost IPM uptake in Europe.

Noting the highly variable levels of IPM uptake across Europe, the authors identify the stakeholders who can help boost IPM use and the actions they should take to achieve this. For example, in the policy field, action is required to ensure crop-specific guidelines are developed in all Member States rather than the voluntary approach currently applied, and the development of biocontrols needs a more nurturing policy framework.

The authors, many of them very familiar to users of this website, also explore what steps stakeholders in research and knowledge transfer can take (more research on the economic aspects of IPM uptake and greater educational efforts, for example), the importance of demonstration farms and the role retail chains can play. Finally, the authors address the impact consumers can have on IPM.

The authors conclude that one of the key steps in boosting IPM uptake will be the development of simple and easily applicable tools or indicators to measure the rate of IPM adoption in the EU, thereby further helping to increase the confidence of consumers and retailers in IPM.
