IPMWORKS: Effective Strategies for Integrated Pest Management

22nd Jan 2025

You're invited to 2 webinars focusing on the research findings from the IPMWorks project which aims to promote IPM adoption to reach a -50% of pesticide use of European agriculture by 2035!

Home / News & Events / Events / IPMWORKS: Effective Strategies for Integrated Pest Management

Discover the challenges and opportunities of Integrated Pest Management in our NEW webinars, based on the findings of the European IPMworks project!

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.
