Want to join the webinar IPM on September 9th?
This webinar aims to share good practices of IPM and to raise input for a policy brief to the international policy agenda. We will share what farmers do to minimize their use of pesticides and explore what positive actions can be taken to enhance the application of IPM.
Want to join?
The webinar will take about 2 hours and will be divided into three parts: short documentaries, a presentation and two panel discussions between experts: Dr. Deepa Senapathi (Associate Professor at the University of Reading), Prof. Dr. Alexandra-Maria Klein (professor of Nature Conservation and Landscape Ecology at the University of Freiburg), Dr. Buyung Hadi (FAO, Agricultural Officer in charge of IPM), Rica Joy Flor (PhD International Rice Research Institute) and Marilena Gemtou (PhD Agricultural University of Athens).
Program
Documentaries
We will start by showing three mini-documentaries on great examples of sustainable agricultural practices in different regions of the world.
Presentation
The documentaries will be followed by a presentation about the lock-ins that we know farmers experience when they want to change their practice of using pesticides.
Panel discussions
The documentaries and presentation will both be followed by panel discussions. Leading questions:
- What do we learn from the good practices we’ve seen?
- How may the presented barriers be overcome?
- What can we abstract for policy learning?
