"Living sustainably with pesticides involves recognising ecology and the feedback processes between ecological systems and our participation in these systems. Ecological thinking – from the Greek ecos for home – refers to what it is that sustains our shared home."
The business and political world has taken the term ecos and applied it to human activities such as “economics” and “ecology”. This is perhaps why we sometimes forget that our human priorities are dependent for their existence on natural ecosystems. Natural ecosystems have aspirations and expectations of their own. Living sustainably involves recognising and respecting a wide range of human and non-human priorities.
At APRN we recognises and respect the changeability of all of the above. Indeed, we see the processes by which we recognise the need to change are themselves open to change. To achieve sustainability with regard to pesticide use, we must nurture and protect the interrelationship of human needs and the needs of the natural world.
Our Working with Pesticides Guide aims to be a leading resource for learning about Bio-Holistic™ options for living with and working with pesticides within biological systems.
