IPM CRSP Outreach and Education
A good teacher looks for ways to make learning come alive. When Dr. Murat Aitmatov from Kyrgyzstan visited Michigan State University’s Student Organic Farm in 2006, he knew he’d found something that would touch his students on the other side of the globe. Aitmatov visited
MSU to attend the International Agroecology,
IPM and Sustainable Agriculture program and to work with Drs. George Bird and Walter Pett. Aitmatov lives in Kyrgyzstan and is a collaborator with Bird and Pett in the Central Asia Integrated Pest Management Collaborative Research Support Program (
IPM CRSP) Project. The project brings together American and Central Asian expertise and resources to solve problems from overuse of pesticides and limited crop diversity.
