ABOUT IPMWORKS

____________

IPM Works provides development and implementation services to public and private sector clients to reduce pest and pesticide hazards in agriculture and communities.

Thomas Green has been a national leader in market-based sustainability and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) initiatives in agricultural and community settings for more than thirty years. IPM is a key strategy for improving sustainability and corporate social responsibility.  

In IPM, our primary focus is on resolving why the pest is present with effective, long-term solutions incurring minimal risk to health and environment.  Pesticides are invaluable tools in IPM programs, carefully selected and applied to minimize risk when reasonable non-chemical tactics fail to provide adequate control.

Dr. Green has four successful startups including initiatives in IPM product supply, consulting, risk management, and certification and standards development. He has created practice standards, performance evaluation tools and auditor training programs for IPM, soil and water conservation, animal welfare and fair treatment of farm workers. These programs are now in use on millions of acres in dozens of crops as well as school systems, and structural pest management and land care professional services.
