IPM Enterprise

The Public IPM Enterprise are the researchers, extension educators and others who develop and deliver IPM solutions to the American public. They work at universities, research labs and extension centers, in several scientific disciplines and across hundreds of institutions. The effort includes 53 state and territory IPM programs and four Regional IPM Centers, primarily supported by the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Crop Protection and Pest Management program. 

Strategic Plan

The Public IPM Enterprise Strategic Plan is our collective effort to unite these diverse public programs and focus our efforts on a unifying vision: “A nation where everyone can access the integrated pest management information, tools and services they need to protect their health, home and livelihood.”

The Strategic Plan for the Public IPM Enterprise outlines specific needs, tasks and priorities that can be addressed as those investments are made.
