@FijiAgriculture Senior Vet Keresi Lomata leads #biosecurity and animal health workers frm Labasa on farm biosecurity methods, taking blood samples as well as proper PPE equipment should an #ASF incursion occur. Training is in collaboratn with @PHAMA_Plus @spc_cps#LRD
Following the successful training of 110 #biosecurity, and animal health workers in Suva, a second #ASF Awareness and Emergency Preparedness training is underway in Nadi. The officers play a critical role to ensure exotic viral diseases do not enter our shores #LRD
Tree genebanks can make a valuable contribution to the #foodsecurity and incomes of smallholder farmers in developing countries, a new study suggests. @CIFOR@GlobalLF@CropTrust@CGIAR

New opening @spc_cps certified Bio security containment Level 3 laboratory, a first in our region, will provide pathology, entomology and biological control services Pacific countries. Gratitude to @ACIARAustralia@ACIARCEO@dfat your support @MarisePayne@AusHCFJ @FijianGovt
Thank you @AusHCFJ 🇦🇺 & @auds_aumua from @spc_cps for launching the ACIAR-supported #BCL3 Lab this morning in Fiji 🇫🇯.
The first of its kind in the #Pacific, the lab boots local #biosecurity research capacity & supports regional food security. #IYPH2020 https://t.co/cupPuFoQ5k
Wonderful to co-open the first-ever Pacific Plant Health Lab at @spc_cps with Deputy Director-General, Dr @AumuaA. Experts from SPC have worked tirelessly to make this lab a reality & I’m very proud that @ACIARAustralia has supported their tremendous efforts. Congratulations.
SPC Deputy Director Dr @AumuaA launched the @ACIARAustralia funded Plant Health Lab alongside H.E @AusHCFJ today. Designed to bolster regional capacity, the laboratory enables SPC scientists to study various pests and diseases requiring a high level of biosecurity containment.,
The Land Resources Division (LRD) all set to launch its Plant Health Laboratory (PHL). The @ACIARAustralia funded lab is a first for the region and classified at Biosecurity Containment Level 3 allowing it to develop emerging biosecurity threats within a safe confined premise.
