Plant pests: The biggest threats to food security?
Nearly 1 billion people go hungry every day; but with a little help they can protect their crops and feed their families
Plantwise is an initiative, led by CABI, to improve food security and the lives of the rural poor by reducing crop losses.
By delivering actionable knowledge: Plantwise is helping countries establish community-based plant clinics which deliver practical advice to farmers when their crops have a problem.
We are helping to join up the research community and the farmers, by translating the researchers’ knowledge into practical, accessible advice and feeding back information from farmers into a central knowledge bank.
We are bringing together the best of the knowledge in the plant health field, including local pest distribution data, and making it available from a central resource.
We have already helped establish over 413 plant clinics in 31 countries. These clinics have helped over 280,000 smallholder farmers and their families.
