Conteúdo:	Tbe deuelopment and implementation of ecosystem-based tecbnol- ogies in plant protection baue been importam objectives of tbe International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC) since its foundation in 1956. Integrated Production/Integrated Farming is (,1 system tbat produces bigb qudtuy and safe food and otber products by using natural resources and regulating mecbanisms to replace polluting inputs and to secure sustainable farming. Tbe objecuoes and princtples of Integnued Production (IP) are based in a bolistic view of tbe system, combining strategies sucb as Integrated Pest Management (IPlvI), safety, fertilieation, and agronornic measures to enbance tbeir effectioeness. lt reiies on ecosystem regulation, food safety, tbe importance of animal ueifare, and on tbe preser- oation of natural resources. Tbe expansion of tbe mango grotoing area in Brazii depends on tbe generation and adaptation of pro- duction tecbnologies, as uell as on consumer market tendencies tbat currently require better quality fruit. Brazil needs to adjust itself to agricultural producuon systems like Fruit Integrated Production (FIP) tbat bas tbe objectioe of economically producing bigb quality fmi! obtained by ecologically safer metbods, iobicb mirümizes tbe collateral undesirable effects of tbe use of 'pesticides, increasing enuironmental protection and improoing buman bealtb. Tbe FIP Systern in tbe São Francisco Rioer Valley began in 2000, witb tbeelaboration cf an enoironmental diagnosis of the region follotoed by tbe monitoring of insects and diseases, training of tecbnicians and farmers, study of lhe production cbain, anel eiaboration of databases anel procedures for integrated mango pro- duction. Today, tbe program counts on the participation of 287 mango producer farms, amounting to a rnonitored area of 8, 780 ha. Tbis prograrn i:s based on lhe integration of scientists, farmers, consultants, and extension people, botb frorn public and priuate institutions. Researcb studies are being carried out in order to gen- erate and diffuse neto tecbnologies, products, and seruices tbat can be adapted to tbe situation ofthe Brazilian mango farmers
