Acknowledgments
This book could not have been published without the contributions
of many scientists, educators and farmers. The concept for Manage
Insects on Your Farm: A Guide to Ecological Strategies came
out of a shorter bulletin, also published by SAN, titled, A
Whole Farm Approach to Ecological Pest Management.
Miguel Altieri and Clara Nicholls, University of California-Berkeley,
felt that the bulletin topic could be expanded, and authored this
manuscript to explore the concept of ecological insect management
in greater detail.
Marlene Fritz, University of Idaho Extension communications specialist,
working with SAN staff, edited the manuscript, contacted numerous
farmers, scientists and educators, wrote the farm features, and
fleshed out the how-to sections of the book. Marlene also solicited
and edited additional sections by experts in the other areas of
ecological pest management.
