Locust pests are a constant threat to agricultural production in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA). Every year, they put at risks crops and rangelands while threatening food security, the economy and livelihoods of the rural populations living in the affected areas. Three locust pests affect CCA countries: Italian (Calliptamus italicus), Moroccan (Dociostaurus maroccanus) and Asian Migratory (Locusta migratoria). The main challenge regarding locust management, is the switch from mostly crop protection, or reactive mode, to preventive and disaster risk reduction approaches. This means anticipating locust outbreaks and getting prepared for crises on the one hand as well as responding earlier and better in case they occur. Overall, Caucasus and Central Asian countries have treated annually from 1.9 to 6.9 million hectares over the past ten years, with an average of 4.2 million hectares.

The banner is part of a series that will be utilised by the Locusts in CCA team to improve the FAO project "Improvement of Locust Management (Phase 2)" in Central Asia. This banner has been produced to highlight the partnership between FAO and the Azerbaijan Ministry of Agriculture, and will be printed and used during training, equipment deliveries, locust surveys and similar events. The roll-up banner will ensure that participants are aware of the project, as well as providing an attribution to possible pictures shot during such events.
