COAG25 Side Event 5 - Recognizing the role of Agricultural Heritage Systems in sustainable agriculture and rural development (GIAHS)
Rome time
The spread of pests into new areas is limiting agricultural production and hindering environmental protection, affecting food security, poverty alleviation, biosecurity and trade aspirations. National, regional and international plant health programmes need urgent intensification to keep up with the increased pest pressure. An International Year of Plant Health would rally public support to improve plant health systems and help address issues of global concern, including hunger, poverty and threats to the environment.
