Resumen
Descripción
Fall Armyworm (FAW) is a dangerous transboundary insect native to tropical and subtropical regions of America that now has spread to most African countries and Asia, threatening food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. To respond to this global threat, FAO has developed a Fall Armyworm Monitoring and Early Warning System (FAMEWS), which is a tool used to monitor FAW regularly for understanding pest behaviour, ecology and movement. FAMEWS supports decision-making based on evidence data collected for sustainable management of the pest. FAMEWS provides information to all levels, including government, international organizations, NGOs, researchers and farmers.
