Efficiency, Substitution, and Redesign: Three Paths Toward Sustainable Crop Protection
Efficiency, Substitution, and Redesign: Three Paths Toward Sustainable Crop Protection
Achieving more sustainable crop protection will require multiple approaches rather than a single solution.
Robert Finger, Professor of Agricultural Economics and Policy at ETH Zurich, explains three key pathways where digital innovation can support the transition: improving efficiency by reducing input use, substituting pesticides with alternative solutions, and redesigning agricultural systems to reduce pest pressure.
Key takeaway:
Digital tools can help growers reduce pesticide reliance while maintaining productivity through smarter, more targeted approaches.
