Description
The
overarching goals of the Regional Integrated Pest Management Centers (IPM
Centers) program are to improve the cost benefit analyses of adopting IPM practices
and to reduce the environmental and human health risks associated with managing
pests. The IPM Centers will promote the development and implementation of IPM
by facilitating collaboration across states, disciplines, and purposes. They
will serve as focal points for regional pest management information networks,
collaborative team building, and broad-based stakeholder participation. The end
result will be increased coordination of IPM research, education and extension
efforts and enhanced responsiveness to critical, priority pest management and
global food security challenges.
