About the Nonprofit

Visit Our Website

The IPM Institute of North America is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit formed in 1998 to improve sustainability in agriculture and communities by using the power of the marketplace: buyers want to support products and services that work to protect the environment and reduce health hazards.

 

Our Community IPM programs promote and implement sustainable and safer pest and weed management practices where people live, learn and play. One of the Institute’s newest Community IPM programs, Midwest Grows Green (MGG), educates and empowers citizens to take sustainable landscaping action that reduces harmful runoff into our waterways, protects the health of our most vulnerable citizens and reduces negative impacts of pesticides on non-target species such as pollinators (see MidwestGrowsGreen.org).   MGG aspires to transform all Midwestern public and private parks, playing fields and outdoor landscapes to sustainable, organic methods of management by 2030.
