Ayuda segura en tiempos de crisis: proteger la sanidad vegetal
March 13, 2026

Humanitarian aid, while life-saving, can unintentionally spread plant pests. A video explains these plant health risks during emergency operations, highlighting key guidance from the IPPC's R-09 Recommendation. It emphasizes the essential role of preparation, coordination, and phytosanitary measures, even in crises.

Protecting plant health ensures food security, strengthens livelihoods, and supports post-crisis recovery. This prevents life-saving assistance from inadvertently creating new risks.
