Ground-Breaking Research into Insects and Species Diversity – Eco-Farming

A quote from the interview:

"We’re only finding pests at substantial numbers in the insecticide-treated
fields! The farmers that are abandoning their insecticide use and replacing
it with biodiversity and reduced disturbance are reaping the benefits of
not having to use insecticides on their fields. We’re going to look at the
economics of those systems as well, considering yields and input costs from
all of those different fields. We’re looking forward to finding out not
only which is better at suppressing insects and increasing diversity, but
also what is more profitable."
