Linking Agricultural Biodiversity and Food Security
Agricultural biodiversity is critical for food security throughout the world. At the genetic, species, and farming systems levels, biodiversity provides valuable ecosytems services and functions for agricultural production. How can the erosion of agrobiodiversity be halted? How can it effectively be conserved and enhanced? This article highlights key principles, policies, and practices for the sustain-able use, conservation and enhancement of agr…

Long-term losses from accumulation of pesticide residues
Entrapment and escape from fruitless insecticide use
This article analyzes the consequences and causes of the “pesticide treadmill”—i.e. the cycle of resistance and secondary pest resurgence—from heavy use of insecticides in banana plantations of Costa Rica. It summarizes the background of intensive pesticide use in the large‐scale banana production, the consequent agroecological upsets, and the economic losses from this problem. In the examination of the causes, it is argued that the main contribu…
Environmental initiatives in Costa Rica
This paper analyzes natural resource management initiatives and environmental dilemmas in Costa Rica and derives lessons pertinent to developing countries in general. It is recognized that Costa Rica has a reputation of having “successful”; environmental policies and has made progress in conservation efforts; however, it is argued that the initiatives and policies actually have constraints and weaknesses, including failure to address the politica…

Pesticides and Policies
Many economic, environmental, and public health problems have emerged with the increasing use of pesticides in Third World agriculture. Some governments of developing nations, recognizing the detrimental effects, have attempted to establish controls. State efforts have included a variety of regulations, policies, training and extension programs, research activities, and in some cases, projects for developing integrated pest management (IPM)i (whi…
