CABI PlantwisePlus
PlantwisePlus is a global programme that is supporting countries and farmers to predict, prevent and prepare themselves for plant health threats in a changing climate. This will allow farmers to reduce their crop losses and produce more and safer food using agroecological and climate-smart practices that safeguard human health and biodiversity. The programme is implemented by CABI, a leading intergovernmental research and development organization in plant health, with research facilities in Switzerland.

| Contexto | Women and men smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries and their families are the most vulnerable and disproportionally affected by threats posed by plant pests and diseases, which are exacerbated by climate change. On average, 20-40% of crops worldwide are lost due to pests and diseases. Indiscriminate use of highly toxic pesticides is affecting human and livestock health. Due to weak agricultural extension systems, farmers have limited access to crop advice and environmentally friendly plant protection solutions. Consistent and coordinated mechanisms for surveillance, early detection and rapid response to pest outbreaks are essentially lacking. PlantwisePlus will address these issues by providing curative plant health advice to smallholder farmers and by contributing to the development of holistic preventive plant health systems at the national level. |
| Objetivos | Smallholder farmers produce more food using safer and more sustainable crop production practices, thereby improving food security and rural livelihoods. |
| Grupos destinarios |
Delivery of PlantwisePlus requires coordinated collaboration with multiple public, private and civil society partners, including agricultural extension services, national plant protection organisations, input regulators, farmer associations, agro-input dealers, national and int. agricultural research organisations. Direct beneficiaries will be 1) farmers which improved access to plant health advice, practices and safe products and 2) national plant protection authorities and offices with improved tools to predict, prevent and prepare for pest outbreaks. |

| Coordinación con otros proyectos y actores | Synergies will be harnessed with other programmes supported by SDC, e.g. a new programme implemented by GFRAS/YPARD on agroecological advise in extension service, with the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe), the Ecologic and Organic Agriculture Initiative, and the new Agroecology Promotion Programme. We will also link CABI with partners of the nutrition and health portfolio of SDC to strengthen links with consumers and establish links to the Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE) project. CABI is an implementing partner of the CGIAR initiative on plant health. |
