This should be upfront and center:
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a methodology that employs all acceptable procedures from the economic, ecological and toxicological point of view to maintain the populations of harmful organisms below the economic threshold, taking advantage of the possible natural factors that limit the spread of these organisms. Integrated pest management is to minimize the use of chemical products and give priority to biological, biotechnological and plant breeding measures, as well as to crop techniques.
The problem with this as well as health remedies and prevention of illness is a lack of protection that patents and trade secretes afford.
The best answer is to educate the public. Government officials and elected representatives are all influenced by big money and not long-term thinkers / planners. So, how do we turn the tide?
