International Organization for Biological Control

The International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC) is a global group that promotes sustainable pest management using natural enemies like predators, parasites, and pathogens, rather than relying on chemicals. It fosters research, sharing knowledge, and best practices to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture and protect biodiversity. By coordinating efforts across countries, IOBC helps develop safe, effective biological control methods that support healthy ecosystems and agricultural productivity. Its work balances protecting crops with conserving nature, encouraging environmentally friendly solutions to pest problems worldwide.
