Extract

Organizer's comments: Systems inquiry represents an array of research-based problem-solving approaches. European experience with the pesticide debate suggests several simple messages contained in this paper. As weed scientists, we have everything to gain by considering a global sphere of views, practices, logic, experience, and message. Read this paper for the essence, the message, the systems thinking, the research framework, and the interface between society and weed science. Read it because science and society must communicate.
