Dan Olmstead, New York State IPM Program at Cornell University
Fostering the evolution of Digital IPM to meet changing needs of applied research and extension efforts
The Network for Environment and Weather Applications (NEWA) is one of several flagship initiatives at the New York State IPM Program and the release of version 3.0 this October is an important milestone. Its success and popularity since the 1990s is a testament to NEWA’s continuing relevance now and into the future. But what can we also learn about NEWA’s success and staying power over these past three decades that is applicable to other areas of importance such as climate change, urban agriculture, and social equity? What is needed to support the next generation of scientific research and digital Extension efforts in the field of IPM? Dan Olmstead is the NEWA Coordinator and an Extension Associate with the NYS IPM Program and will share the recently completed NEWA 3.0 decision support platform, and then discuss the ways in which guiding principles that make NEWA successful are being tapped to embark on new program-wide digital IPM initiatives in the future.
