Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a smarter approach to managing pesticides in agriculture and communities. Instead of relying on pesticides alone, IPM combines prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatment to manage pests more effectively and with less risk to people, pollinators, and the environment.

It’s practiced on farms, in orchards, in schools, parks, and neighborhoods. And when it works, it means healthier ecosystems, fewer pesticide risks, and safer food for everyone in the supply chain.
