“Inviting the scientific community into agricultural decision making without a prior tradition to do so” : How to engage scientists and farmers in Mexico?!
• There is a need for more: – Government-‐science co-‐opera5on
– Scien5fic basis for planning – Technological tools
• Goals: – Be<er decision making
– Be<er pest surveillance – Preven5on tools for farmers
“Most field decisions for pest control are made on common sense rather than technical informa5on”*

• SAGARPA is now invi5ng scien5sts, through funding and projects, to support agriculture and livestock policies.
• Scien5fic ins5tu5ons, Universi5es and others, begin to put their infrastructure and knowledge into applied science.
• Applied science is now one of CONACyT priori5es
• We are working towards sharing
