Workshop on “Boosting Agricultural Resilience: Novel plant pests diagnostic techniques"
"Boosting Agricultural Resilience: Novel plant pests diagnostic techniques" - Advancing Knowledge Sharing in the IPPC Technical Panel on Diagnostic Protocols (TPDP) and New Plant Pest Diagnostic Techniques with MAFF Japan
The workshop on knowledge sharing about the IPPC and its Technical Panel on Diagnostic Protocols (TPDP) and processes and, new plant pest diagnostic techniques aims to build capacity and knowledge sharing about the topic. This event will provide a platform for TPDP experts, researchers, and NPPO from Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF-Japan) to brainstorm, collaborate, and exchange innovative ideas to improve plant pest diagnostics.
It is also expected that participants will enhance their understanding about the IPPC standard setting procedure, how NPPOs and their employees can be involved (e.g. nominating experts during calls, participating in consultations) and benefit from it.
The concept note and proposed agenda is provided below.
Date: 25 October 2024
Objectives:
1) Facilitate the dissemination of the IPPC standard setting procedure and the work of the Technical Panel on Diagnostic Protocols (TPDP).
2) Foster collaboration among the TPDP members, IPPC Secretariat and NPPO of Japan to enhance knowledge sharing and capacity building on cutting-edge plant pest diagnostic technologies and methodologies.
3) Information sharing on strategies for early detection and effective management of plant pests using advanced diagnostic techniques.
4) Networking opportunities for participants to share experiences, ideas, and best practices.
