Conventional agricultural development models and the persistence of the pesticide treadmill in Latin America. Nicholls, C. I. & Altieri, M. A. International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology, 4(2):93–111, Taylor & Francis, June, 1997. _eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/13504509709469946![Conventional agricultural development models and the persistence of the pesticide treadmill in Latin America [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex After a brief history of pesticide use and impacts in Latin America, the paper analyzes how agricultural development programmes, from the Green Revolution to the promotion of non-traditional export crops, have perpetuated the pesticide treadmill in the region. A fundamental issue in the paper is to link the pesticide problem to the broader policy, institutional socio-economic and technical changes that must occur if agriculture is to be ecologically sound, economically viable and socially just. By using several examples of biological control and integrated pest management programmes as case studies, ways of promoting the transition of chemical intensive commercial agriculture to a more sustainable and low-external input agriculture are explored. In the policy realm, a series of requirements and incentives to initiate change towards ecological pest management are suggested, including: changing the political-economic structures, countering pressures from the agrochemical industry, disseminating IPM among farmers, broadening education and outreach in IPM.
