Particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, information on best practices for crop protection is grossly limited, compared to what prevails in other parts of the world. I notice that apps are being developed to help farmers (rural smallholder) in managing their farming operations in most countries in the world. How can this promoted in Africa. Monitoring and survelliance of key pests and alert on emerging situations in different localities is key.
Hello Dear
‘Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan’ (BSAP) aims to recognise, develop and co-ordinate the crop protection efforts to promote best practice in the use of its
products. Best regsrds
Best practices in plant protection should be promoted in Africa via the professional association and societies working in this field by strong-thing there communication tools to inform the targeted population (users and consumers).
Yes, best practices in plant protection must be promoted in Africa via social media like youtube, facebook, website, twitter, etc. This way will speed out access to the information at low-cost of all smallholder farmers. Also, will bridge the gap between those involved in agriculture and sciences, and those removed from the farm and lab. It is about time for the 70% of African smart devices users and who are online all the time to start educating them self via electronic means because "Knowledge is Power". Best Regards.
The Integrated Crop Protection (ICP) extension project aims to promote best management practices for plant health in the Australian vegetable industry, including responsible chemical use. Protecting crops is vital for vegetable producers to improve productivity, profitability and sustainability. However practices, capabilities and attitudes differ throughout the country. The project is continuing to work with growers, advisors and other industry service providers to tailor solutions that suit their circumstances.
Hello Dear
I studied the effects of socio- economic and extention factores that affected the Date palm IPM. Please see my publication. I hope it be helpful for you. Best regards
The general public still has faith in farmers and ranchers, but some are still wary of modern farm practices. It is important that agriculture unites and it has a chance to tell its side of the story. Social media is one way to make your voice heard.
