Through Farmer Field Schools, supported by the European Union and Sweden under ENPARD IV, FAO assists Georgian farmers in strengthening plant health via sustainable agricultural practices.

Farmers and agronomists collaborate on initiatives from healthy soil and strong seedlings to pest monitoring and integrated pest management. This improves crop resilience, reduces unnecessary pesticide use, and supports safer food production and sustainable agriculture in Georgia.

Plants are fundamental to our food systems but are constantly threatened by pests and diseases spreading globally. Plant biosecurity is crucial, serving as the primary defense for food security by protecting crops, livelihoods, and international trade.

Under the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), countries collaborate to preserve global plant health. Learn more at the International Plant Health Day website.

Guatemala has made a historic first deposit of over 930 seed accessions into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the world's most secure backup facility for crop diversity. This crucial step

Guatemala has made a historic first deposit of over 930 seed accessions into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the world's most secure backup facility for crop diversity. This crucial step safeguards the nation's agricultural biodiversity, including fundamental crops like maize, beans, squash, amaranth, and teocinte.

This significant deposit resulted from an emergency intervention and a long-term alliance between Guatemala's national germplasm bank and communities in the Cuchumatanes region.

Guatemala has made a historic first deposit to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the world's most secure backup for crop diversity. This crucial step safeguards agricultural biodiversity, including over 930 seed accessions of vital crops like maize, beans, squash, amaranth, and teosinte.

This remarkable achievement resulted from an emergency intervention and a long-term partnership between the Guatemala national genebank and Cuchumatanes region communities. For more details, watch the accompanying video or visit www.fao.org.
