PlantwisePlus
Project disclaimer
Description
To respond to the needs of farmers and the systems that support them, PlantwisePlus will help countries to Predict, Prevent and Prepare themselves for plant health threats - reducing crop losses. Recognising three key remaining challenges following implementation of Plantwise and Action on Invasives, it will more comprehensively support countries and farmers to produce the quantity of food required and also to improve the quality of food grown, in a changing climate.
Objectives
The programme will deliver processes and tools that will achieve: (1) Pest Preparedness - to strengthen detection and response to pest outbreaks, to support countries with more consistent and coordinated mechanisms to detect, identify and respond to plant health problems; (2) Farmer Advisory - to deliver digital advisory tools to boost sustainable agriculture and improve the capacity of public and private actors providing support to smallholder famers to diagnose crop health problems and recommend sustainable solutions; (3) Pesticide Risk Reduction - to enhance the use of low-risk plant protection solutions to reduce reliance on high-risk farm inputs that have adverse effects on human health and biodiversity, and promoting the demand for safer and locally produced food.
