A discussion event at ETH Zurich

Pest management is crucial for food security. However, intense pesticide use has risks for both humans and the environment. How then can agriculture transform to include sustainable pest management systems?

At this discussion event at ETH Zurich, a consortium of interdisciplinary experts from agronomy, agroecology, human toxicology, ecotoxicology and agricultural economics and policy is on-hand to discuss with you. Each will present their views on current challenges in pest management and their ideas for paths forward. The floor is then open for discussion with all experts, around small tables and with refreshment in hand.
