Synopsis (short abstract) This research report for a regional study on the impacts of climate change on the spread of pests contributes to FAO’s normative work, as a milestone for 2020–2021 under the Regular Programme. The year 2020 was designated by the United Nations as the as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH), with the aim of reducing crop loss from pests, which is estimated at 40 percent. In the current report, agricultural pests as any organism harmful to plants, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, etc are defined by the authors. We include those that cause direct damage as well as disease-causing organisms. Climate change is projected to worsen crop losses by another 10–25 percent, which in some regions would emanate from associated pests. Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southeastern Europe are under the research area.

    This study reviews the agricultural policy environment and provides quantitative indicators for policy incentives and disincentives to agricultural producers for key commodity value chains in the eight study countries in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Moldova, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), utilizing the methodology aligned with the approach of the International Organizations Consortium for Measuring the Policy Environment for Agriculture (Ag-Incentives Consortium). This report describes the methodology and approach taken for these eight countries covered by this study and presents the key results and their interpretation in the policy and market contexts of the countries and the region.

    İklim değişikliğinin zararlıların yayılımına etkisini inceleyen bölgesel bir çalışmaya ait bu araştırma raporu, FAO Düzenli Programı atında, 2020-2021 ara hedeflerinden biri olarak FAO’nun normatif çalışmalarına katkıda bulunmaktadır. 2020 yılı, %40 civarında olduğu tahmin edilen zararlılardan kaynaklı ürün kayıplarını azaltmak amacıyla, Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından Uluslararası Bitki Sağlığı Yılı ilan edilmiştir. Bu raporda, yazarlar tarafından virüs, bakteri, mantar, nematod ve böcek gibi bitkiye zarar veren herhangi bir organizma tarım zararlısı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu zararlılara bitkiye hem doğrudan zarar veren hem de bitkide hastalık yaratan organizmalar dahildir. İklim değişikliğinin ürün kaybını %10-25 daha da artırması beklenmektedir, ki bazı bölgelere bu kayıp daha ziyade zararlılardan kaynaklanacaktır. Araştırma kapsamına Orta Asya, Kafkasya ve Güneydoğu Avrupa girmektedir.

    Healthy plants constitute the foundation of food security and are key to sustaining life on earth. For this reason, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH) and invited the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to facilitate the implementation of the IYPH in collaboration with all relevant stakeholders. The IYPH aims to heighten public awareness of the economic, social and environmental importance of plant health for improving global food security and the contribution of plant health towards reducing hunger and poverty. Currently, up to 40 percent of global crops are lost to pests, primarily insects, diseases and weeds. Pesticides are widely used to control pests. However, application of broad-spectrum pesticides negatively affect beneficial organisms that are fundamental to ecosystem services and nature-based pest management. Therefore, FAO promotes the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, which is focused on prevention.
