IPM Part 1: Creating a Farm Ecosystem / MIP parte 1: creación de un ecosistema agrícola 

Healthy farms don’t just happen — they’re designed. In this first of two Integrated Pest Management (IPM) workshops, we explore the foundation of the IPM pyramid: cultural practices that work with nature to build resilient, thriving farm ecosystems. Through companion planting, crop rotation, and native plant installations, you’ll learn how to promote biodiversity and create conditions where a healthy ecosystem does the pest management for you. Part 1 of a two-part series. Attending Part 2 after is recommended but not required. 

Las granjas saludables no surgen por casualidad, sino que se diseñan. En este primer taller de los dos dedicados a el Manejo integrado de plagas (MIP), exploramos la base de la pirámide del MIP: las prácticas culturales que colaboran con la naturaleza para crear ecosistemas agrícolas resilientes y prósperos. A través de los cultivos asociados, la rotación de cultivos y la plantación de especies autóctonas, aprenderás a fomentar la biodiversidad y a crear las condiciones necesarias para que un ecosistema saludable se encargue del control de plagas por ti. Primera parte de una serie de dos. Se recomienda asistir a la segunda parte, pero no es obligatorio.
