Abstract

Globalization and changing climates are aggravating the occurrence and impacts of transboundary pests, and driving the emergence of new threats. Most of the low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America are not fully prepared in terms of surveillance, diagnostics, and deployment of plant health solutions due to several factors: adequate investment is lacking; knowledge is inadequate; and connections from the local to global, and global to local are insufficient. Effectively countering the current and emerging threats to plant health requires a holistic approach that includes: 1) globally coordinated diagnostic and surveillance systems; 2) epidemiological modelling, risk assessment, forecasting and preparedness for proactive management and containment; and 3) implementation of context-sensitive, eco-friendly, gender-responsive and socially inclusive integrated disease and pest management approaches to reduce the impacts of devastating transboundary pests and diseases. Despite several success stories where major pests and diseases have been brought to control through integrated approaches, further multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary efforts are necessary. Plant health management requires stronger interface between the biophysical and social sciences, and empowerment of local communities. These reflections derive from the proceedings of a webinar on “Transboundary Disease and Pest Management,” organized by CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research) on March 3, 2021, in recognition of the United Nations designated International Year of Plant Health.

跨界有害生物的可持续管理需要全面和包容的解决办法

全球化和气候变化正在加剧跨界有害生物的发生和影响，并推动新威胁的出现。由于以下几个因素，非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的大多数低收入和中等收入国家在监测、诊断和部署植物健康解决方案方面没有做好充分准备:缺乏足够的投资;知识不足;从本地到全球，从全球到本地的连接是不够的。有效应对当前和新出现的植物健康威胁需要一种整体方法，包括:1)全球协调的诊断和监测系统;2)流行病学建模、风险评估、预测和为主动管理和遏制做好准备;3)实施对环境敏感、生态友好、注重性别平等和社会包容的综合病虫害管理办法，以减少破坏性跨界病虫害的影响。尽管有几个通过综合方法控制主要病虫害的成功案例，但仍需要进一步的多机构和多学科努力。植物健康管理需要加强生物物理科学和社会科学之间的联系，并增强地方社区的权能。这些思考来自国际农业研究磋商小组(CGIAR)于2021年3月3日为纪念联合国指定的国际植物健康年而组织的“跨界病虫害管理”网络研讨会的会议记录。

期刊介绍： Food Security is a wide audience, interdisciplinary, international journal dedicated to the procurement, access (economic and physical), and quality of food, in all its dimensions. Scales range from the individual to communities, and to the world food system. We strive to publish high-quality scientific articles, where quality includes, but is not limited to, the quality and clarity of text, and the validity of methods and approaches. Food Security is the initiative of a distinguished international group of scientists from different disciplines who hold a deep concern for the challenge of global food security, together with a vision of the power of shared knowledge as a means of meeting that challenge. To address the challenge of global food security, the journal seeks to address the constraints - physical, biological and socio-economic - which not only limit food production but also the ability of people to access a healthy diet. From this perspective, the journal covers the following areas: Global food needs: the mismatch between population and the ability to provide adequate nutrition Global food potential and global food production Natural constraints to satisfying global food needs: § Climate, climate variability, and climate change § Desertification and flooding § Natural disasters § Soils, soil quality and threats to soils, edaphic and other abiotic constraints to production § Biotic constraints to production, pathogens, pests, and weeds in their effects on sustainable production The sociological contexts of food production, access, quality, and consumption. Nutrition, food quality and food safety. Socio-political factors that impinge on the ability to satisfy global food needs: § Land, agricultural and food policy § International relations and trade § Access to food § Financial policy § Wars and ethnic unrest Research policies and priorities to ensure food security in its various dimensions.
