Fall Armyworm (FAW) prevention under the Framework of FAO Global Action on FAW control

Fall Armyworm (FAW) prevention under the Framework of FAO Global Action on FAW control

As the sole international standards setting body for plant health, the IPPC works closely with FAO, national and regional plant health authorities, academia and private sector representatives to lower the risks of further FAW spread to new territories. In particular, actions of the IPPC community target about 20 countries in Europe, Near East and North Africa, and the Pacific, where the pest has a limited distribution or has never been reported.

A webinar on 9th December 2020, provided a platform to discuss the key role of prevention in the global fight against FAW, and to analyze mechanisms, impact and strategies put in place by FAO and the IPPC Secretariat to implement the Global Action in the areas at the highest risk of contamination.
