Abstract

Climate-smart pest management (CSPM) is a cross-sectoral approach that aims to reduce pest-induced crop losses, enhance ecosystem services, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems in the face of climate change. Through the implementation of CSPM, farmers, extension workers, researchers, and public and private sector stakeholders will act in coordination to manage changing pest threats more effectively, and achieve more efficient and resilient food production systems.
