🍃IPM (Integrated Pest Management)
- Holistic & Integrated: Combines multiple tactics (biological, cultural, physical, chemical) for pest control, rather than relying on one.
- Prevention Focused: Aims to stop outbreaks before they start by making environments unsuitable for pests.
- Monitoring & Thresholds: Uses regular pest/beneficial monitoring to act only when pests reach damaging levels (economic thresholds).
- Reduce Chemical Reliance: Prioritizes non-chemical methods to combat pesticide resistance and environmental impact.
- Agriculture: Developing pest-resistant crops (like Bt cotton), biocontrol agents (predatory mites, wasps, fungi), mating disruption, trap cropping, and genomics for pest understanding
- Archives & Cultural Heritage: Making environments hostile to pests (moisture, food) through good housekeeping, sealing collections, and reducing chemical use for artifacts.
- Innovation: Developing better biocontrols and training
In 2022, there were over 8000 pesticides on the Australian market, divided between commercial farming use (75%) and domestic or urban use (25%). Australia is heavily invested in pesticides, continuing to use several pesticides that are banned elsewhere. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/sep/27/australian-food-is-grown-with-dangerous-chemicals-banned-in-other-countries
https://pesticideaction.org.au/new
In Feburary 2026 Pesticides are becoming more toxic and just about every country is using more of them year after year, despite a UN target to halve the overall risk by 2030

Australia? How Are We Going?
SADLY AUSTRALIA is still one of the worst offenders when it comes to using harmful pesticides. 2022, there were over 8000 pesticides on the Australian market, divided between commercial farming use (75%) and domestic or urban use (25%). Australia is heavily invested in pesticides, continuing to use several pesticides that are banned elsewhere. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/sep/27/australian-food-is-grown-with-dangerous-chemicals-banned-in-other-countries 2024 Australia had banned only 24 hazardous pesticides. The UK and EU have banned 225 hazardous pesticides, nearly 10 times more. Australia is consistently one of the last countries in the OECD to ban hazardous pesticides, allowing decades more harm to accumulate. https://pesticideaction.org.au/impact/ 2025 Australia’s loose pesticide rules are still harming it's environment and people. By raising awareness and demanding accountability, Australians can push regulators and policymakers to prioritize safe, clean and healthy food systems, protecting not just consumers but the country’s ecosystems and future generations. https://earth.org/how-australias-loose-pesticide-rules-are-harming-its-environment-and-people 2026 Pesticide Action Australia is a for-purpose, not-for-profit charity dedicated to reducing Australia’s use of pesticides for the protection of our health and environment https://pesticideaction.org.au/new 2026 Pesticides are becoming more toxic and just about every country is using more of them year after year, despite a UN target to halve the overall risk by 2030 https://www.newscientist.com/article/2514439-the-toxic-burden-of-pesticides-is-growing-all-around-the-world/
Supporting a Call to Action
We support a national call to action to help protect against environmental threats from climate change, land-use change, habitat degradation, and invasive species. "Urgent action, led by the government, with community awareness and informed choices, is vital to safeguard our natural resources for future generations."
