Plant pest risk analysis

Plant pest risk analysis is a systematic process used to assess the potential threat that pests—organisms like insects, fungi, or bacteria—pose to plants and agriculture. It involves evaluating how likely a pest is to enter an area, spread, and cause harm to crops or native plants. This analysis helps governments and organizations make informed decisions about pest management, trade regulations, and prevention strategies, ultimately protecting food supplies and ecosystems from invasive species that could disrupt agricultural practices and biodiversity.
