Are There Alternatives to Traditional Agrochemicals?
Efforts are ongoing to find sustainable alternatives to traditional agrochemicals. These include the development of biopesticides, which use natural organisms or substances to control pests, and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that combine biological, cultural, and mechanical practices to reduce chemical reliance. Research into genetically modified crops that are resistant to pests or require fewer inputs also presents a promising avenue for reducing agrochemical usage.
