Plant Pest Risk Analysis Framework

The Plant Pest Risk Analysis Framework is a structured approach used to identify, assess, and manage potential threats posed by harmful pests to plants and ecosystems. It involves evaluating the likelihood of a pest entering, establishing, and spreading in a new area, as well as its potential impact on agriculture, environment, and economy. By analyzing these factors, policymakers can make informed decisions to prevent pest outbreaks, protect crops, and safeguard biodiversity, ultimately ensuring food security and ecological health. This framework helps balance risk with appropriate response strategies to prevent pest-related issues.
