Develop Urban Integrated Pest Management Without Chemicals

Urban farming occurs near people and buildings, requiring pest management approaches that avoid harmful chemicals. The challenge is developing integrated pest management specifically for urban environments and sensitive locations. Barriers include pest pressure in urban environments, limited chemical options, and complex ecosystem management. Without safe pest management, urban farms may struggle with pests while avoiding chemicals that could harm urban residents. Successful urban IPM could control pests without chemicals while protecting urban health, potentially demonstrating pest management approaches that are safe for dense urban environments.
