The Fall Armyworm project is working to alleviate the negative impact of fall armyworm🐛 on smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa by enabling them to apply appropriate, low-cost pest control strategies based on ecological approaches Learn More🔗 bit.ly/3dkhqY0 #GLFAfrica

Getting ready

A lack of systematic data for the #biodiversity in agricultural land means monitoring global targets is hard. 📚The Farmland Biodiversity Score could be a critical metric for the post-2020 agenda for measuring & monitoring agricultural biodiversity. 👉: bit.ly/3G8GLy7
