Do IPM Centers Fit in AFRI?Should they?
The Situation
IPM Centers, a component of 406, is not in the proposed USDA budget
USDA employees are constrained to support the President’s proposal
AFRI 2010 is no home for IPM Centers
Remaining discussion: should IPM centers and other 406 IPM programs be integrated into AFRI ?
Are IPM Centers a Good Investment?
What is the return on investment?
Is IPM itself a good investment?
Moving IPM funds without also moving programs would represent a significant shift by USDA away from support for IPM
So, let’s look at the value
Focus only on Regional IPM Centers
not on the entire 406 IPM suite
not the other 406 programs
by no means a comprehensive list
