- Monitor the impact of known pest and disease problems
- Accumulation of data over time to shed light on the emergence patterns of specific pests and diseases
- Ensure the early identification of new pest and disease problems
- Improve capacity for pest and pathogen identification
- Inform future disease research focus areas, both in terms of long and short term projects
