FAO marking this year’s #PlantHealthDay by shining a light on the importance of leveraging innovation to protect plants, which are indispensable essential for sustaining life on earth. Up to 40% of food crops are lost due to plant pests and diseases every year. This affects global #FoodSecurity and agriculture, the main source of income for many vulnerable rural communities. #ClimateChange and weather extremes are also impacting plant health and altering ecosystems, while creating new niches for pests to thrive. International travel and trade, which has tripled in volume in the last decade, has led to increased interconnectedness among countries and regions. This underlines the importance of ensuring that people, goods and commodities crossing borders do not carry pests and diseases affecting plants, animals and humans. “The unprecedented global challenges we face, such as the unrelenting climate crisis, demand innovative approaches and digital technologies to support countries with stronger pest surveillance and early warning systems,” FAO Deputy Director-General Beth Bechdol. https://lnkd.in/eyvR9w7s

The Gracilaria sea moss species in Dominica has traditionally been farmed to make drinks, gels and other products. As it is a slow-growing variety, however, it has caused production challenges for its farmers. FAO introduced the Eucheuma cottonii species to farmers as an alternative solution to relying on imports to meet local demand. https://lnkd.in/d9cPPr2A
