• Common presumptions in many traditional (top-down) management schemes – Exists a linear chain causes-effects
– Consider necessary and sufficient intervention on a single level (often relying on a single technology)
– Complexity of interaction between social and ecological sub-systems and between these and management are often disregarded
PEST ABUNDANCE

CONTROL
4. The process
• Management: complexity and non linearity – Neither simple approaches nor silver bullet technologies – Rational management schemes are needed
Decision making
Env. data Experts in modelling

• A classical scheme of a top-down approach in Integrated Pest Management

• The adaptive management approach and the technological innovation systems
5. CONCLUDING REMARKS
• Since the 1970 the approach has been successfully implemented – Different contexts: crop pests (open field and protected
crops), invasive alien species, arthropod-transmitted diseases (humans and animals)
– Many systems: cotton, cassava, coffee, olive, vineyard, etc. – Many regions: USA, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa,
Mediterranean area
• Technology use has to be considered as part of
innovation system implementation – Focus on the technology – Link innovation and application – Considering the institutional, organizational and cultural
dimensions 27
• Implications for the good governance – Flexibility of the technology (different scales) – Assessment: exploration of scenarios for sustainable pest
management scheme – Analysis of agricultural resilience and adaptability (e.g., climate
change) – Bio-economic analysis (risk and opportunity) – Decision support for different stakeholder communities and
interests
28
• What is the remaining work to do – Improving the architecture of the system and database – Improving generality and developing a user interface
• What we look for
– Opportunities for cooperation and involvement in projects
– Resources for developing new solutions for the Mediterranean area
– Contribute to the design the sustainable development agenda for the Mediterranean region in the area of pest management
