Description

Join me for an insightful conversation with Marcel Dicke, Professor of Entomology and Director of the Laboratory of Entomology at Wageningen University in The Netherlands.During this episode of Get The Bug podcast, I delve into Marcel's pioneering work in entomology, discussing topics such as biological control, insect-plant interaction, and sustainable agriculture. We explore the potential of insects in agriculture and the use of biological control methods to manage pests, offering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical control methods. Marcel's research has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of insect-plant interactions and their role in building a more sustainable food system.Join me for this insightful conversation on the potential of insects to make the world a better place, and the lessons we can learn from nature to build a more sustainable future for generations to come.Check out www.gtbpodcast.com for more details.
