Plantwise aims to strengthen plant health systems in Africa through establishing plant clinics. The clinics are run by extension workers who diagnose plant issues for farmers based on samples brought in. Data from the clinics helps improve extension recommendations and resources. Over 35 clinics have been established in Kenya with positive responses. The program seeks to expand to more African countries and integrate plant clinics into national plant health systems and extension services to improve food security.
Plant health clinics provide farmers a place to bring infected plant samples to be diagnosed by trained agronomists. The agronomists identify pests and diseases under microscopes and recommend integrated pest management. This includes both scientific and traditional control methods tailored to each farm. The first plant health clinic in India opened in Manipur in 2020 to support agriculture. Clinics aim to increase awareness of issues, provide proper management guidance, and save farmers time and money compared to untreated infections.
A plant pathologist must have strong observation and detective skills to properly diagnose plant problems. It is important to keep an open mind and collect all relevant facts before determining the cause, as multiple factors could be involved. Correct identification of the disease and causal agent is essential, as control measures depend on proper diagnosis and improper diagnosis could waste resources and lead to more plant losses. Proper disease diagnosis is vital for effective treatment and prevention of future issues.

Negussie: Role of plant health clinics in enhancing adaptive capacity to clim...AfricaAdapt
Plant health clinics have emerged as a response to gaps in addressing climate-induced plant health problems in developing countries like Kenya. The clinics are community-based services run by trained staff that provide farmers with diagnoses and recommendations for plant health issues. Over 20 clinics were established in Kenya, serving around 5000 farmers. The clinics help identify new pests and diseases, build adaptive capacity, and play a role in climate change adaptation by providing timely advice. Key challenges include limited resources and effective integration within the national system.
A questionnaire about body image, plastic surgery, and social media influences was completed by 8 females and 7 males. Responses showed that reasons for being happy with one's body included feeling that interior qualities are more important than looks, while reasons for unhappiness included having insecurities and wanting to change to fit social expectations. The majority of respondents were aged 16-19 and would not consider plastic surgery due to being self-confident or plastic surgery being expensive and risky. Social media was seen as influencing opinions on plastic surgery. Famous idols were said to influence through their perfect appearances and fashion more than their actions. The document outlines expectations for what should be included in an informative documentary on this topic.
Bipolar disorder is a cyclical mood disorder that results in pathological mood swings from mania to depression. It has been recognized and studied for hundreds of years. There is strong evidence that bipolar disorder has a genetic component, with family and twin studies showing increased risk among relatives of those diagnosed. While specific genetic variants have not been consistently identified, heritability is stronger for bipolar disorder than for unipolar depression. Proper diagnosis distinguishes between bipolar I and II, as well as related disorders like cyclothymia, based on the presence and duration of manic or hypomanic episodes.
Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings from mania to depression.

The Linnaeus Link Project creates a union catalog of publications by Carl Linnaeus and his students published before 1831 by collaborating with libraries with significant Linnaean holdings. The project aims to improve access to these important historical resources by creating high-quality digital records of bibliographic information in the catalog. The initial partnership included several founding libraries, and the catalog has now grown to include over 1,680 records harvested from various international member institutions.
From databases to information flow: CIFOR and seamless integration of informa...IAALD Community
The document discusses CIFOR's goals of becoming a leading source of information on forests, poverty, the environment, climate change impacts, and trade impacts. It introduces SIIS (Seamless Integrated Information Systems) as an integrated system to enable rapid access and analysis of information for decision making. SIIS will include databases, systems, and processes, with a focus on people, technology, and business processes. The framework and implementation of SIIS at CIFOR are described.
A monitoring system for preventive control of Desert Locust in West AfricaIAALD Community
This document discusses a monitoring system for preventing Desert Locust outbreaks in West Africa. The system is meant to track the monitoring activities of national locust units and help coordinate regional response. It uses a simple web-based interface to allow national units to submit surveillance data and for officials to access updates. However, the long-term sustainability of the system depends on national units consistently providing updates, as interest in locust monitoring often wanes between outbreaks when the problem is not immediate.

2. The World Today
• Against a background of
• ~1.02 billion people going hungry
• 13,000 children under 5yr dying each day through malnutrition
• Up to 40% of the food we grow is lost to pests and diseases
• Reducing this to 39% could feed up to 25m more per day
3. In the future: maelstrom vs. vacuum?
Increased pressure on food production from:
• Trade and travel; Climate change; Water & energy scarcity;
Population increases….leading to:
• John Beddington’s “Perfect Storm”…..meanwhile:
• “Insect vectors, pests and diseases are moving extremely fast
and we have frankly no grip whatsoever over what they might
do in the next 20/30 years.” Janice Jiggins,Wageningen
University
4. Pest and disease threats:
simple insights
Food & economic security
● 19% of the world's wheat, which provides food for 1 billion people in Asia
and Africa, is in imminent danger from Ug99 (wheat rust). CiMMYT
● Rice is a staple for about half the world's population, but we lose 10%-
30% of the crop to blast disease
● Stem damage diseases to banana and plantain crops could cause losses
of up to $4Bn in 2010 FAO
Farmers are simply seeking solutions
Researchers are “simply” seeking distribution
data, linked to ground-based evidence
6. Users want agri-info organised
● But, pest data has problems -
● Dispersed/uncoordinated, poorly-maintained, non-
specific in nature, of variable quality, and very general
geo. details
● Hugely expensive time investment
● No means of evaluating risk – human, $, R&D ROI
● SPS legislative information is poorly maintained
● Give me
- a single site I can trust

7. What is required? User feedback
● Time saving
● Where are the pests now?
● Where are they going?
● Granularity
● Evidence/references - trust
● Accurate quarantine info
● Images – but structured
● Diagnostic expertise, quality-
assured
● Risk quantification
● Consolidated & holistic info
● History
● Multiple platforms
● Reliable analysis on tap
● Networked experts
● Assessments, triage & policy

8. Our vision
Plant
doctors
Develop a plant health resource for all
capable of supplying an early warning
surveillance system for plant health
Top-Down: Informing the Farmer
Working with an alliance of partners,
provide knowledge at locally run plant
clinics in the developing world and
internationally through a comprehensive
plant health resource
Bottom-Up: Utilise local
Observations
Real-time distribution and reportage

9. Building a centralised
plant health resource
• Detailed information on 2,500
diseases, pests and crops
• 28,000 additional reports
• 6,000 images
• 1700 distribution maps
• Data from 8m CAB Abstracts
• Plus, critically:
• Geo-specific
observations (Clinics)
• Authoritative partner

10. Free clinics are set up at
local meeting places
such as markets.
Farmers bring a sample
into the plant clinic.
They receive a
‘prescription’ from the
plant doctor.
Doctors are trained:
surveillance and
diagnostic techniques,
IPM, technology
development, pesticide
use and reduction,
markets, government
policy, risk reduction,
marketing, business skills
and post-harvest care

Editor's Notes
CABI undertook ~200 customer interviews in 2009 to find out problems professionals were facing in accessing information
Huge amounts of time were spent finding data
Generally unclear how “aged” the data was, or what was its quality
Data was uncoordinated
Data providers tend to be crop- and/or country specific
Companies faced challenges in assessing investment risks because forecasting tools don’t exist or are based on poor data
We intend to launch with the following information as a minimum.
We will then grow, develop and expand the information in the database
“The Compendium has been very useful in the daily running in our organization. We normally use it on a daily basis and do not know how we could have been able to cope without it. The Compendium has been very useful on quarantine issues.”
Plant Inspectors, Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service, Nairobi

Clinic in DRC
An average food basket of good quality nutrition costs $184 per person, $475 per month, for a family, 67% of individual workers cannot afford this basic standard.
Study done in 2009 by CEDLA who are based in La Paz Bolivia.
Child labour is illegal in Bolivia, but it is estimated that almost a third of the country's children and adolescents (320,000) work in extreme conditions; in the mines, Brazil nut plantations and the sugar cane fields.
Children earn less than $5 a day harvesting sugar cane, often from sunrise to sunset for six months.
Fiser, 10, is one of Bolivia's many child labourers. "I am not going to school any more. I left it this year when I started working here," he tells the BBC
Some parents would prefer their children to be at school rather than in the fields. Unfortunately, money compels them to take their children into the fields with them. That is the case for Fiser's mother, Angelica, who is working alongside him. "He helps me a lot. He used to be at school but I need him to come to work with me, at least this year, then he can go back to school. Now we need the money so his little brothers can eat and go to school."
Angelica knows about the harsh reality of child labour herself as she has been toiling in the cane fields for a pittance since she was 10. She is now 44.
BBC News, Sunday, 11 October 2009
Adoption of clinic recommendations was significantly correlated with increased income.
Clients who adopted the recommendation, or even part of it, earned an average increased income of over $1400
The ‘wealthy’ farmers had more land and therefore benefited more, because they could save more, but “Even so, it is encouraging that the absolute amounts of financial benefit to the poor were high enough to make a difference in their livelihoods and improve their food security.”
Poor farmers benefited on average $285
Medium farmers benefited on average $780
Not poor farmers benefited on $2344
