From field to finished product 🌴

During the 38th #TCRPPO, participants visited Aldka family farm to explore irrigation, pollination, soil health and sustainable date production, and how dates are sorted, processed and transformed.

🌱 #TermOfTheWeek: Seed

In plant health, a seed is meant for planting; if for processing or consumption, it's grain (ISPM 5).

Seeds can spread pests across borders; ISPM 38 helps manage this 🔗 https://t.co/fzB2plzQKA

The #IPPC will be at the Second FAO Global Exhibition: From Seeds to Foods, 8-12 October 2026, at Circo Massimo, Rome 🇮🇹

Plant pests can travel through seeds, packaging and traded goods. International phytosanitary standards help manage these risks, protecting plant health, food security and safe trade.

🌱 Every effective phytosanitary decision starts with understanding risk.

This week in Yokohama 🇯🇵, an #IPPC Expert Working Group, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan @MAFF_JAPAN , is advancing the revision of the Pest Risk Analysis (#PRA) standard.

🪰 PRA helps countries determine whether an organism is a pest, if it should be regulated, and which phytosanitary measures are needed.

🤝 A clearer, more integrated standard will support consistent implementation worldwide, strengthening #PlantHealth, food security, environmental protection and safe trade.

🌱 Senegal is strengthening digital pest surveillance 🇸🇳

From 28–30 Sept, 38 plant health professionals trained on digital tools to improve phytosanitary data collection & analysis.
📱 @FAO & #IPPC also provided 40 tablets to support surveillance in the field.
🤝 With support from the UK Government and @EU_Commission.

🌱 Plant health is at the heart of #OneHealth.

At the @FAO Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood Systems, the #IPPC highlighted how prevention, surveillance, early warning and stronger phytosanitary systems help address interconnected risks.

From international standards to tools like PCE and POARS, and through partnerships with @WOAH, @EFSA_EU and @INRAE_France, plant health is helping turn One Health into action.

🌱 Up to 40% of global crop production is lost to plant pests every year.

On #FLWDay, let's remember that reducing food loss starts with protecting plant health. Through international standards, pest surveillance, early detection, and #ePhyto, #IPPC helps safeguard crops and support safer trade worldwide.

Protecting plants means protecting food. 🌾
