🌱 Early detection makes a difference

Effective pest management is essential to protect crops and reduce risks to food systems.
By detecting and responding early, we can reduce damage, protect yields, and limit the spread of harmful pests—helping to safeguard food security and the environment.

Science-based approaches and international standards developed under the International Plant Protection Convention support countries in strengthening plant health systems and improving responses to pest threats.

As we approach the International Day of Plant Health (12 May), under the theme Plant Biosecurity for Food Security and Nutrition, we are reminded that prevention is one of our most powerful tools.
