Abstract
In modern agriculture, the role of ecological pest management (EPM) has been enhanced to address environmental and human health issues while improving farms’ productivity and profitability in a sustainable way. EPM has shown promises in the reduction of pesticide pressure and in maintaining biodiversity and natural resources. Apart from these, there is a need to make location-specific changes for multiple pest control tactics, educating farmers through community approaches with the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to understand both direct and indirect benefits and risks involved in it. The present chapter addresses information on pesticide usage and its adverse impacts on safer food production for masses, leading to EPM development.
