Background

Emerging issues and sustainable strategies in plant health management encompass a diverse array of challenges and solutions aimed at ensuring crop health and productivity while minimizing environmental impact. Key areas include proactive management of emerging plant diseases through early detection and quarantine measures, development of resistant crop varieties using both traditional breeding and genetic modification techniques, and the promotion of integrated disease management (IDM) practices that balance biological, cultural, and chemical controls. Advances in precision agriculture technologies facilitate optimized resource use and monitoring of crop health, while the adoption of biological control methods reduces reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides. Strategies also focus on enhancing climate change resilience in agriculture, fostering sustainable practices like organic farming and soil health management, and promoting effective policies and education initiatives to support long-term agricultural sustainability. Collaboration among stakeholders is also crucial for exchanging knowledge and implementing effective measures that ensure robust plant health management systems globally.

The conference on "Emerging Issues and Sustainable Strategies in Plant Health Management: A Global Perspective" seeks to address critical challenges facing global agriculture. It aims to provide a comprehensive platform for stakeholders including academics, industry leaders, policymakers, and farmers to discuss and exchange insights on tackling plant diseases and enhancing crop health sustainably. Through this gathering, we aim to foster collaborative efforts, showcase innovative strategies, and promote practices that ensure both agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. By focusing on emerging threats and effective management practices, the conference endeavours to pave the way for a resilient and prosperous future in global plant health management. This collective effort not only aims to safeguard global food security but also to protect natural ecosystems and promote the long-term viability of agriculture in a changing world scenario.
