General Objectives: the wider goal is to promote the impact and uptake of European IPM research output to manage pests of field and stored crops and livestock and thus improve livelihoods of the poor in the developing world. IPM provides economically, environmentally and ecologically
sound food security through contributing to sustainable agriculture (SA). Actions will
capitalise on the comparative advantage of the European resource base, harmonise EU
development action, promote coherence, and maximise benefits of development cooperation.
