| dc.description | The human food chain is under continued threat, owing to an alarming increase in the number of outbreaks of transboundary plant pests and diseases Globalization, trade and climate change, as well as reduced resilience in production systems, as a result of decades of unsustainable agricultural intensification, have all played a role Over the years, 20 to 60 percent of harvest loss of various food crops in West Africa has been attributed to the prevalence of plant pest and diseases in the ECOWAS region The presence of plant pathogens has significantly contributed to food insecurity, leading to health challenges such as stunting in children, and less competitiveness in regional and international trade. | |
