dc.descriptionA fundamental human need for individuals, communities and nations is ongoing access to sufficient, affordable, safe and nutritious food to live an active and healthy life. Pests and diseases of plants pose a threat to food security because they can damage crops, which reduces the availability and increases the cost of food. Pest and disease threats are greater than ever before due to increasing global trade and a changing climate. Both of these create favourable conditions for the movement and spread of plant pests and diseases. It is more essential than ever to protect plants from pests and diseases in order to achieve and sustain food security and sources of income for a growing world. Increased trade and a changing climate create opportunities for new plant pests and diseases to appear where they have not been seen before with potentially devastating effects. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) was established in 1952. Its mission - to protect the world’s plants from pests and diseases – means it is well placed to address these challenges and to establish coordinated action against the spread of the pests and diseases that threaten food security.
