Phytosanitary measures

Phytosanitary measures are practices aimed at protecting plants and crops from pests, diseases, and invasive species. These measures can include inspections, treatments, and regulations to prevent harmful organisms from spreading. They are crucial for maintaining agricultural health, ensuring food safety, and protecting ecosystems. Countries often implement phytosanitary standards to control the movement of plants and plant products across borders, safeguarding local agriculture and natural environments. Overall, these measures help secure food supplies and promote sustainable farming by minimizing risks associated with plant health threats.
