Fighting pests, improving crops,
bettering lives worldwide
The IPM CRSP raises the standard of living of people in developing countries by working with them to develop the best solutions to the agricultural challenges they face.
The multifaceted farming techniques of the IPM CRSP mean farmers and their families are healthier, they are able to send their children to school, and they realize a higher return on the produce that they sell.
In addition to agricultural strategies, the program also deals with cross-cutting issues such as gender, health, nutrition, equitable use of resources, and agricultural education.
The IPM CRSP has proven to be highly effective: One IPM intervention alone — the release of a parasite to control the papaya mealybug in India — has resulted in such huge benefits that this single intervention pays for the entire IPM CRSP over its lifetime.
