Climate Change »

Farmers face increased pest populations

SP-IPM expects to respond to threats resulting from climate change by carrying out collaborative research and surveillance to evaluate the changes in cropping systems and production practices affected by it.

Food, Feed and Environmental Safety »

Health risks & economic losses from pesticide residues & mycotoxins

SP-IPM addresses the threat to food and feed safety by developing new varieties of crops with resistance to fungal colonization, reduced toxin production and swifter toxin degradation.

Agro-Ecosystem Resilience »

Preventing eco-disturbances due to agricultural intensification

SP-IPM focuses on developing human scientific capacity and broadening the understanding of the ecological relationships in agricultural production systems to improve soil, root and plant health in key regional or global cropping systems, especially for cereals and in tropical environments.

Training and Capacity Building »

Training and capacity building to increase national research and innovation capacity

The proposed training course would be implemented in different regions of the world. SP-IPM scientists, researchers at advanced institutes, and representatives from the private sector will present the latest developments in IPM technologies across crops and ecoregions.
