About This Course
The Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Regenerative Crop Protection & Agroecological Farming Training Course is a premium, competency-based programme designed to equip agricultural professionals, extension officers, crop protection specialists, agronomists, researchers, policymakers, and agribusiness leaders with advanced knowledge and practical skills to develop resilient, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable crop protection systems. The programme integrates Integrated Pest Management (IPM), regenerative agriculture, agroecology, biological control, ecological pest management, biodiversity conservation, climate-smart farming, digital pest surveillance, precision agriculture, resistance management, and evidence-based decision-making. Participants learn to reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides while improving crop productivity, ecosystem health, and farm resilience. Through practical field demonstrations, pest diagnostics, case studies, digital agriculture applications, and implementation projects, participants develop sustainable crop protection strategies that enhance agricultural productivity, environmental stewardship, food security, and climate resilience.
