As the environmental, social, and economic problems associated with heavy reliance on pesticides become more apparent, many national and international organizations are promoting integrated pest management (IPM) as a way of reducing pesticides without sacrificing yields. IPM, which has been rapidly implemented in Indonesian rice production, is currently the most successful United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization-sponsored national IPM program in existence (United Nations, 2002). The integration of government policy with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization-supported farmer education points to the success and sustainability of a bottom-up approach in IPM, and is an important lesson to all practitioners involved in efforts that necessitate community participation.
