TIPMF Mission

Recognizing the significant, positive impact of integrated pest management (IPM) on the environment and society, it is the mission of the Texas IPM Foundation to promote the adoption of sound IPM principles in rural, suburban and urban settings. The promotional campaign includes educating people about the benefits of IPM ... both economically and environmentally. Where practical, TIPMF will work with other organizations, groups or government agencies to encourage the use of sound IPM concepts.

The Foundation works to:

• Design and conduct educational programs for interdisciplinary training on IPM;
  
• Increase the visibility and acceptance of IPM principles through the dissemination of current, relevant information;
  
• Provide for the transfer of IPM technologies to professionals and the general public;
  
• Encourage and support research and demonstration in pest control management in agriculture, urban areas, structures and landscapes; and
  
• Promote partnerships that serve to expand the reach of IPM programs.
