CABI and the International Plant Protection Convention announce steps towards an expanding relationship in the fight for global food security
April 2, 2013
CABI and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) have announced steps towards an expanded relationship, one that will harness the strengths of both organisations in the fight for global food security, more open trade, and improved environmental protection. To support this commitment, CABI will dedicate £40,000 towards collaboration activities with IPPC in 2013.
Coordinator of the IPPC Secretariat, Craig Fedchock (centre), joined CABI’s CEO Trevor Nicholls (right) and Director of CABI Europe-Switzerland Ulrich Kuhlmann to outline the long-term strategy which this new funding will support. As the only international standard-setting body for plant health recognised by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the IPPC’s mission is to support trade while protecting natural ecosystems, a goal largely underpinned by the science of plant protection and practices of pest management.
