FAO Regional Plant Protection and Production Officers


In early 2019 the concept of an FAO Plant Health Team was formulated and a concept note (posted below) was developed to highlight the benefits of promoting cooperation among the FAO Regional and Sub-regional offices, AGP and the IPPC Secretariat. Ongoing efforts are being made to strengthen this collaboration.
