International Plant Protection Convention

The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is a global treaty aimed at protecting plants and plant products from pests and diseases that can harm agriculture and the environment. Established in 1952, it provides a framework for countries to collaborate on preventing the spread of harmful organisms across borders. Through standards and guidelines, the IPPC helps countries improve their plant protection measures, ensuring safe trade and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. By working together, nations aim to safeguard food security and preserve biodiversity while supporting economic development.
