IPM Institute of North America

About us

The IPM Institute of North America is an independent non-profit formed in 1998 to improve sustainability in agriculture and communities.
We have over 20 years of experience in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and reducing pesticide use and risks. Anticipating a growing demand for sustainability programs that go beyond a focus on IPM, our focus expanded over the years to encompass a broad range of agricultural sustainability issues. Our work grew to include partnerships and projects with food and agricultural companies along the supply chain, from growers to packers and processors to retailers. For instance, Partnership for Ag Resource Management was formed in 2010, focused on our work with ag retailers, and Sustainable Food Group was formed in 2014 to focus specifically on developing and implementing programs to advance sustainability in food and agriculture.
Our work includes a range of projects to increase practices that improve working conditions, reduce greenhouse gases, improve air quality, water quality and soil health and reduce risks to health and the environment from pesticide and nutrient use in agriculture and communities.
