An EU-wide farm network demonstrating and promoting cost-effective IPM strategies

Descripción del proyecto

Protección de los cultivos sin plaguicidas

El control integrado de plagas (CIP, o IPM por sus siglas en inglés) es, junto con el fomento de la agricultura ecológica, una de las herramientas para el control de plagas con bajos insumos de plaguicidas. El CIP se basa en la prevención y el control no químicos para favorecer una menor dependencia de los plaguicidas. Este método ha sido probado por muy pocos agricultores pioneros en toda Europa; la mayoría de los agricultores europeos emplean sobre todo plaguicidas, que llevan aparejados efectos ambientales y sociales importantes. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos IPMWORKS fomentará la adopción de estrategias de CIP. Una red de agricultores paneuropea, que seguirá perfeccionando las prácticas de CIP, ayudará a demostrar a otros agricultores los beneficios de un CIP integral y corroborará que una menor dependencia de los plaguicidas conlleva un mejor control de plagas, una reducción de los costes y una mayor rentabilidad. El proyecto organizará asimismo sesiones formativas y creará material de formación.

Objetivo

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is based on a diversity of pest management measures (prevention, non-chemical control, best practices for optimizing pesticide efficiency, etc.). These are combined at the farm level to enable reduced reliance on pesticides, and therefore a decrease in the exposure of the environment and people to pesticides. Rare pioneer farmers throughout Europe are testing such IPM strategies and are succeeding in achieving good outcomes with low pesticide inputs. However the majority of European farmers still rely heavily on pesticides, with major environmental and societal impacts, because most of them have not adopted a comprehensive, farm-level and holistic IPM strategy so far.
The objective of IPMWORKS is to promote the adoption of IPM strategies, based on a EU-wide network of farmers, who will both progress further in the adoption of IPM – through peer-to-peer learning and joint efforts – and demonstrate to other farmers that holistic IPM “works”; i.e. allows a low reliance on pesticides with better pest control, reduced costs and enhanced profitability. IPMWORKS will coordinate existing networks promoting IPM and launch new hubs of farms in regions or sectors where IPM pioneers are not yet engaged in a relevant network. Advisors coordinating hubs will have a major role in facilitating knowledge sharing, coaching farmers to find their own IPM solutions, and organising local demonstration activities. IPMWORKS will stimulate access to the ‘IPM Decisions’ platform and provide information on the IPM methods. It will collect data for comparing IPM strategies, and share results and dissemination material through channels widely used by farmers, broadcasting IPM success stories. It will organise training, and produce training material, targeting both farmers outside the network and advisory services, in order to prepare for the future dissemination of the peer-to-peer learning approach and the general adoption of IPM throughout the EU.
