NJF seminar 458
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) - National Action Plans in Nordic-Baltic countries
7-8 November 2012 Estonia |
|
| |
|
| Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been an important issue for a long time but the new EU directive (2009/128/EC) pushed the IPM development radically. Every member state of the EU must make an pesticide action plan (NAP), which among other things should assure implementation of IPM principles. The NAP must be done before the end of 2012 and the IPM principles must be in use in the year 2014. In practice this will be just a beginning of the continuous IPM learning and development of crop specific IPM guidelines which fit to regional circumstances. A lot of work should be done and collaboration is urgently needed so that the diminishing IPM know-how will suffice the need of information horizontally and vertically along food chains. The first seminar: “Are we ready for the EU IPM ?” will connect people from all the stakeholder organizations, which are working on the area of sustainable use of pesticides and development of IPM practices in the northern zone of Europe. Implementation of the IPM will be a challenging task in all of the Nordic-Baltic countries. The aim of the seminar is to improve information exchange among all the IPM experts of the Nordic-Baltic countries and to make common cause to work together, in order to make sustainable use of pesticides fits to the demands of EU policymakers and consumers as well as stimulate the process in the direction of reducing pesticide dependence of agro-food systems. |

We have decided to emphasize the most important principles of the “SUP” directive (2009/128/EC) during this seminar:
- Reasoning: Why IPM?
- State of the NAPs in the Nordic-Baltic countries, resourcing of the IPM implementation?
- How to prevent plant health risks and need of pesticides?
- Decision making based on monitoring and threshold values, theory or real life?
- What means harmful - comparison of risk indicators, HAIR and national indicators?
- Alternatives to minimize reliance on chemicals
- Reduced use of pesticides, technology to come |
