Synopsis (short abstract) The book highlights the efforts and attention paid by the international community to the Desert Locust problem and how FAO was mandated to take the global lead in this matter. The book covers how the concept of regional locust control organizations developed, the work undertaken by the CRC, and how the Commission expanded. It records the views of the Ministers of Agriculture of the Member States, and the efforts each State has made to fight against the Desert Locust. This book goes beyond commem orating 50 years of the active existence of the Commission; it narrates the long relationship between humans and Desert Locusts, records the historic scourges thousands of years ago.
