Pesticide reduction

Pesticide reduction refers to the efforts and strategies aimed at decreasing the use of chemical pesticides in agriculture and gardening. This practice focuses on minimizing potential harm to the environment, human health, and beneficial organisms like bees and butterflies. Farmers and gardeners might adopt integrated pest management (IPM), which combines natural pest control methods and sustainable practices to manage pests more effectively. By reducing reliance on chemicals, we can promote biodiversity, improve soil health, and ensure safer food production, ultimately leading to a more sustainable approach to farming and gardening.
