Could the way we arrange crops boost future food security?
New work from @camplantepidem.bsky.social looks at how crop layout in landscapes can dramatically slow plant disease spread without relying on chemicals or costly interventions.

How can farmers use models to prevent wheat disease?
Watch the video from @camplantepidem.bsky.social to see how subsistence farmers across Africa & South Asia can use forecasting models to protect their crops.

BLOG - Battling crop diseases without borders: how a research community maintains global defences against wheat rusts
For 15 years, DEWAS, an international research collaboration @cimmyt.bsky.social, has been studying, detecting and defusing outbreaks of the devastating crop disease wheat rust.
