What is an example of a LEAF recommendation for pest management?

Integrating pest management strategies is a core principle in sustainable agriculture and aligns with LEAF's emphasis on environmentally responsible farming practices. This approach combines a variety of techniques to manage pest populations in a way that minimizes the impact on the environment and human health. Techniques often include biological control methods, habitat manipulation, and the careful use of natural pesticides.

By adopting integrated pest management, farmers can reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, promote biodiversity, and enhance the resilience of their farming systems. This holistic approach not only addresses pest issues effectively but also contributes to the overall sustainability of agricultural practices, making it a key recommendation from LEAF for pest management.
