Global coalition on IPM • The SP-IPM is an inter-institutional partnership program launched in 1996 bythe CGIAR as part of its response to Agenda 21 of 1992 Rio Earth Summitwhich recognized that IPM allows more food to be produced with minimal damage to agriculture and natural ecosystems
Our mission • To increase the quality and usefulness of IPM research and outreach for higher productivity & sustainable profitability of cropping systems leading to improved livelihoods, particularly in resource-limited agriculture in the developing world
Implementation approach Through inclusive partnerships: • Harness complementary differences (marriage of core competencies) between diverse stakeholder groups to impact on CGIAR output in the areas of: - Germplasm improvement - Germplasm collections - Sustainable production - Policy environment - Enhancing NARES Assist governments’/end-user efforts to fulfil obligations to international conventions and guidelines on plant protection for improved livelihoods
Work programmes Promote inter-institutional partnerships/break isolation barriers to IPM research and outreach • Develop/promote holistic & ecological approaches andmethodologies for IPM technology development and harmonize these across localities • Develop/promote effective communication and learning models for informed IPM decision-making leading to higher, sustainable and healthier harvests • Promote policy environment more favourable to the development and application of IPM strategies for sustainable agriculture • Foster broader awareness of the impact and benefits of IPM leading to wider adoption of more sustainable crop protection strategies
