- Abstract
- This is an important time for crop protection in Europe. New European regulations adopted in 2009 will place new limits on the use of pesticides, our principal crop protection tools. This has prompted many of us to wonder about the future of pest management. While we are thinking about the next few years, why not think about the next 20? This study invites us to do just that. This study uses the increasingly popular tool of scenario building, which has the strength of accommodating different, equally likely futures, and the added value of making these futures real through the story lines and actors each scenario creates. The future scenarios which this study carefully creates and analyzes give us much food for thought. Researchers interested in European crop protection will find in this study an empowering presentation of the past, present and future of their discipline, and new ways of thinking how it should progress over the coming decades.
