Addressing barriers to integrating research and adoption of sustainable practices for managing locusts in Senegal, South America, and Australia.
Description
Co-sponsored by the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) and Arizona State University (ASU), also with support from ASU’s Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems, this project addresses challenges and opportunities in managing and researching grasshopper and locust pests. It spans from biological research identifying land use practices that suppress locust populations to comparing governance structures for how different regions around the world manage locusts, to create common global resources for stakeholders.
