Quel problème résout votre projet ( 500 mots max ) We're addressing a primary challenge: improving the availability and accessibility of safe, healthy, nutritious foods.
Plant diseases and pests often threaten the availability and safety of plants for human and animal consumption. Global yield losses of critical staple crops can range up to 30%, and hundreds of billions of dollars in lost food production*.
When a plant is attacked by disease, the losses may be light or very severe. Sometimes plants may not grow normally or reach their full size, and the illness may destroy plant and fruit cells, decreasing the food quality. At the same time, diseases may ruin the plants causing hunger, starvation, and famines, whereas in other cases, they result in the extinction of entire species of plants.
Advances in surveillance technology and functional and streamlined workflow, from data collection, analyses, risk assessment, reporting, and information sharing, are needed to improve the response to the emergence and spread of plant-related pathogens and pests.
That's why acting on time in lousy crop conditions will improve food standards, safety and reduce waste. Plant health is essential for human life as plants provide over 80% of the food consumed by humans and are the primary source of nutrition for livestock
