Also available in:
No results found.Agricultural markets remain highly sensitive to a variety of external shocks, including weather fluctuations and policy developments, and merit regular monitoring.

PresentationPresentationTree health in the international year of plant health: what we can learn from the SARS COV-2 pandemic 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the devastating impact of transboundary diseases and the importance of preparedness, surveillance, and implementation of preventive measures in order to protect human health. It has also demonstrated the importance of coordinated international action in the management of transboundary diseases. Such coordinated international action is also fundamental to protect the world’s forests from forest invasive species (transboundary insect pests, pathogens, vertebrates, plants). Professor Mike Wingfield opens the webinar introducing a broad topic on pandemics. He presents an interesting comparison among human pandemic and pests outbreaks, highlighting similarities and - most importantly - lessons learned.
