Did you know? 🌍
98% of the oxygen we breathe comes from plants, while 80% of the food we eat depends on them. Yet nearly 40% of crops are lost every year to pests and diseases, threatening food security and farmers’ livelihoods.
Plant biosecurity acts as a shield protecting crops, preserving trade, safeguarding jobs, and securing our environment for future generations. 🌾💚
Healthy plants mean healthy people, healthy economies, and a healthier planet.
