dc.descriptionLocusts and grasshoppers are a serious threat to agriculture, including pastures and rangelands, in Caucasus and Central Asia, with an area of more than 25 million hectares concerned. During outbreaks, the three main locust pests, the Italian Locust, the Moroccan Locust and the Migratory Locust, attack all kinds of crops and plants and jeopardize food security and livelihoods: putting at least 20 million people at risk. The most affected populations are living in rural areas, where human health and the environment can suffer from negative impacts of locust control operations using conventional pesticides. To reduce the occurrence and intensity of locust outbreaks in Caucasus and Central Asia, FAO has been implementing since 2011 a regional “Programme to improve national and regional locust management in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA)”.
