About International Year of Plant Health 2020

Plants are more central to our daily existence than most people realise. They are the foundation of our ecosystems and its biological diversity and functioning. Plants affect everything from our water and air quality, to the food we eat and clothes we wear, and our physical and mental health. Unfortunately, the health of plants are increasingly threatened, globally, by pests, pathogens and climate change, to a point where whole ecosystems and plant production systems could collapse. For this reason, the United Nations has declared 2020 the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH), in recognition of the urgent need for greater global collaboration to protect plant health.
 
FABI and the University of Pretoria are leading global centres of excellence in scientific research, training and innovation in plant health. We partner closely with industry, government and other academic partners worldwide on this topic. During the IYPH, FABI will be abuzz with plant health related activities and outputs, including research, training, plant health services, seminar series, conferences, workshops and outreach events.

International Year of Plant Health in FABI languages

 

Afrikaans

Plante is belangriker in ons daaglikse bestaan as wat meeste mense besef. Dit is die basis van ons ekosisteme, hul biologiese diversiteit en funksionering. Plante beïnvloed alles van water- en lugkwaliteit, die kos wat ons eet en klere wat ons dra, tot ons fisiese en sielkundige welstand. Ongelukkig word die gesondheid van plante al meer bedreig op ‘n globale vlak deur peste, plae en klimaatsverandering, soveel so dat totale ekosisteme en plantproduksiesisteme kan ineenstort. Om hierdie rede het die Verenigde Nasies 2020 verklaar as die Internasionale Jaar van Plantgesondheid (IYPH). Dit is ook ‘n erkenning van die dringende behoefte aan groter internasionale samewerking om plante se gesondheid te beskerm.

FABI en die Universiteit van Pretoria is internasionale leiers en ‘n sentrum vir uitnemendheid in navorsing, opleiding en innovasie in plant gesondheid, in noue samewerking met industrieë, regerings en akademiese sentra regoor die wêreld. Tydends die IYPH gaan FABI gons van aktiwiteite en uitsette wat verband hou met plantgesondheid, insluitende navorsing, opleiding, plantgesondheidsdienste, seminare, konferensies, werkswinkels en publieke uitreikgeleenthede.

گیاهان بیشتر از آنچه که اکثریت مردم فکر میکنند، نقش حیاتی در زندگی ما دارند. گیاهان زیربنای اکوسیستم ها ، تنوع زیستی و عملکردشان هستند و همینطور بر روی هر چیزی از جمله کیفیت آب و هوا تا غذایی که مصرف میکنیم، لباسی که میپوشیم و سلامت جسمی و روحی تأثیر گذار هستند. متأسفانه سلامت گیاهان به طور فزاینده ای به وسیله ی آفات ، بیماری‌ها و تغییرات اقلیمی مورد تهدید قرار گرفته تا جائیکه تمام اکوسیستم ها و تولیدات گیاهی میتوانند از بین بروند.

سازمان ملل به دلیل نیاز مبرم در جهت تعامل بیشتر جهانی به منظور سلامت گیاهان، سال 2020 را سال بین المللی سلامت گیاه ( IYPH )نامگذاری کرده است. موسسه ی فابی(FABI) و دانشگاه پرتوریا، مراکز جهانی پیشرو در مطالعات علمی، آموزش و نوآوری در سلامت گیاه میباشند. ما از نزدیک با صنعت، دولت و دیگر شرکای دانشگاهی بر روی این موضوع (سلامت گیاه ) همکاری داریم. در طول این سال FABI بر روی فعالیت‌های مرتبط با سلامت گیاه و دستآوردهای ناشی از آن شامل تحقیقات، آموزش، خدمات مرتبط با سلامت گیاه، برگذاری سمینارها، کنفرانس ها، کارگاه های آموزشی و رویدادهای بیشتر متمرکز خواهد بود. برای مشاهده نکات برجسته این وبسایت را دنبال کنید.

Las plantas son de suma importancia para nuestro diario vivir, más de lo que la gente piensa. Estas no solo son la base de nuestros ecosistemas, sino también representan su diversidad biológica y funcionalidad. Las plantas afectan todo lo que nos rodea, como la calidad del agua y aire, los alimentos que consumimos, la ropa que usamos y nuestra salud física y mental. Desafortunadamente, la salud de nuestras plantas se ve cada vez más amenazada por plagas, patógenos y cambio climático. A nivel mundial estás amenazas pueden constituir el colapso no solo de ecosistemas completos sino también de sistemas de producción de plantas. Por esta razón, Las Naciones Unidas ha declarado el 2020 como el Año Internacional de Sanidad Vegetal (siglas en ingles IYPH), en reconocimiento a la urgente necesidad por establecer proyectos de cooperación internacional para proteger la salud de nuestras plantas.

FABI y la Universidad de Pretoria son centros de excelencia y lideres mundiales en investigación, capacitación e innovación científica en sanidad vegetal. Estamos asociados directamente con la industria, gobierno y académicos en todo el mundo, expertos en el tema. Durante el IYPH, FABI activamente compartirá actividades y emitirá noticias, que incluyen temas relacionados con investigación, capacitación, servicios en sanidad vegetal, seminarios, conferencias, talleres y eventos de divulgación. ¡Sigue esta página web para más información!

Le rôle des plantes dans notre quotidien est bien plus important que ce que la plupart des gens réalisent. Elles sont la base de nos écosystèmes, de leur diversité et de leur fonctionnement. Les végétaux ont un impact sur tout ce qui nous entoure : la qualité de l’eau et de l’air, la nourriture que nous mangeons, les vêtements que nous portons, ainsi que notre santé physique et mentale. Malheureusement, la santé des végétaux est de plus en plus menacée par des maladies, des insectes ravageurs et le changement climatique, à tel point que des écosystèmes complets et des systèmes de production végétale pourraient s’effondrer. Pour cette raison, les Nations Unies ont déclaré 2020 l’Année International de la Santé des Végétaux (AISV), en reconnaissance de l’urgent besoin de meilleures collaborations internationales pour protéger la santé des végétaux.

FABI et l’Université de Pretoria sont des centres de pointe dans la recherche scientifique, la formation et l’innovation dans le domaine de la santé des plantes. Nous cultivons des partenariats étroits avec l’industrie, le gouvernement ainsi que d’autres institutions académiques dans le monde entier sur ce sujet. Pendant l’AISV, FABI bourdonnera d’activités liées à la santé des végétaux telles que la recherche, la formation, des services liés à la santé des végétaux, des séminaires, des conférences, des ateliers et des activités de sensibilisation.

Pflanzen sind wictiger für unser tägliches Lebenzals die meisten Menschen glauben. Sie sind die Grundlage unserer Ökosysteme und dessen biologischer Vielfalt und Funktionsweise. Pflanzen beeinflussen alles von unserer Wasser- und Luftqualität über die Nahrung und Kleidung bis hin zu unserer körperlichen und geistigen Gesundheit. Leider ist die Gesundheit von Pflanzen weltweit zunehmend durch Schädlinge, Krankheitserreger und den Klimawandel bedroht, so dass ganze Ökosysteme und Pflanzenproduktionssysteme zusammenbrechen könnten. Aus diesem Grund haben die Vereinten Nationen das Jahr 2020 zum Internationalen Jahr der Pflanzengesundheit (IYPH) erklärt, in Anerkennung der dringenden Notwendigkeit einer umfassenderen Zusammenarbeit zum Schutz der Pflanzengesundheit.

FABI und die University of Pretoria sind weltweit führende Kompetenzzentren für wissenschaftliche Forschung, Ausbildung und Innovation im Bereich Pflanzengesundheit. Wir arbeiten weltweit mit der Industrie, der Regierung und anderen akademischen Partnern zusammen. Während des IYPH wird FABI mit pflanzengesundheitsbezogenen Aktivitäten und Veroeffentlichungen wie Forschung, Schulung, Pflanzengesundheitsdiensten, Seminarreihen, Konferenzen, Workshops und Informationsveranstaltungen beschäftigt sein.

צמחים הם מרכזיים לחיינו – יותר מהמצופה.

הם יסוד העולם הטבעי שלנו ואיך הוא פועל.

הצמחים משפיעים על הכל – על איכות המים והאוויר, למזון והבגדים שלנו והבריאות הפיזי והנפשי שלנו.

למרבה הצער, בריאות הצמחים מאוימת בכל העולם – ע"י מזיקים, רעלים ושינויים באקלים – וכל מערכת הטבע עלולה להתפורר.

לכן הודיעו באו"ם ש2020 יהיה "שנת בריאות הצמחים הבין לאומית" על מנת לכבד את הצורך הדחוף להגנה על בריאות הצמחים.

FABI ואוניברסיטת פרטוריה הם מרכזים גלובאלים למחקר, אימון וחידוש בבריאות הצמח.

אנו עובדים ביחד עם תעשייה, ממשלה והעולם האקדמי בכל העולם.

במשך ה IYPH, FABI יהיה עסוק מאוד עם פעילויות שונות , מחקר, אימון, שרותי בריאות ,, סדנאות, וכנסים.

Mimea ni muhimu zaidi kwa uwepo wetu wa kila siku kuliko watu wengi wanavyotambua. Mimea ni kina cha mazingira yetu na uuwiano wa kuishi pamoja baina ya mazingira haya na viumbe vyote kama wanyama balibali, wadudu na vijidudu. Hivyo mimea huathiri kila kitu kwa mwanadamu katika kila hali kutoka kwa maji na ubora wa hewa, kwa chakula tunachokula na nguo tunazovaa, na hata ustawishaji wa afya ya mwili na akili. Kinachohuzunisha ni kwamba, afya ya mimea inazidi kutishiwa kote ulimwenguni. Hii inasababishwa na uongezefu wa wadudu na vimelea vinavyosababisha magojwa kwa mimea. Pamoja na hayo, mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa inahadhiri pakubwa na kubadilisha misimu ya mvua na joto kwa kiwango kwamba mazingira na mfumo wa uzalishaji wa mimea yaweza poromoka. Kwa hivyo, umoja wa mataifa (UN) umetenga mwaka huu wa elfu mbili na ishirini (2020) kuwa Mwaka wa Afya ya Mimea Mataifani (IYPH), ili kutambua hitaji la dharura la ushirikiano mkubwa wa mataifa yote ulimwenguni wa kulinda afya ya mimea.

Taasisi ya Teknolojia ya Misitu na Kilimo vyuo pamoja na chuo kikuu cha Pretoria Afrika Kusini wako katika nafasi ya mbele katika vituo vya ulimwengu vya ubora katika utafiti wa kisayansi, mafunzo na uvumbuzi katika afya ya mmea. Tunashirikiana kwa karibu na viwanda vya sekta ya misitu, serikali na washirika wengine wa vyuo ulimwenguni juu ya mada hii. Katika huu mwaka wa afya ya mimea kote ulimwenguni (IYPH), Taasisi ya Teknolojia ya Misitu na Kilimo (FABI) itashungulikia nyanja tofauti zinazohusiana na afya na mazao ya mimea. Hivyo basi, matokeo pamoja na utafiti, mafunzo na huduma za afya ya mimea, mikutano na majadiliano, kongamano za kisayansi, na hata uenezaji kwenye jamii kuhusu afya ya mimea zitafanyika. Kwa habari zaidi, tafadhali fuata ukurasa huu.

Planten zijn belangrijker voor ons dagelijks bestaan dan de meeste mensen zich realiseren. Zevormen de basis van onze ecosystemen zowel als van de biologische diversiteit en het functionerenervan. Planten beïnvloeden van alles, van onze water- en luchtkwaliteit tot het voedsel dat we eten,de kleren die we dragen en onze lichamelijke en geestelijke gezondheid. Helaas wordt de gezondheid van planten wereldwijd steeds meer bedreigd door plagen, ziekteverwekkers en klimaatverandering,tot op een punt waar hele eco- en plantproductiesystemen kunnen instorten. Daarom hebben de Verenigde Naties het jaar 2020 uitgeroepen tot het Internationale Jaar van de Plantgezondheid(IYPH), ook vanwege de dringende behoefte aan betere internationale samenwerking om degezondheid van planten te beschermen.

FABI en de Universiteit van Pretoria zijn internationaal toonaangevende expertisecentra op het gebied van wetenschappelijk onderzoek, training en innovatie met betrekking tot plantgezondheid.Op dit onderwerp werken we nauw samen met de industrie, de overheid en andere academische partners wereldwijd. Tijdens het IYPH zal FABI bruisen van activiteiten gerelateerd aan plantgezondheid,inclusief onderzoek, training, dienstverlening rondom plantgezondheid,seminarseries, conferenties, workshops en outreach-evenementen.
