The United Nations has declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (#IYPH2020). IYPH2020 is a once in a lifetime opportunity to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development. 

At GPC we have launched a new section in our website devoted to IYPH2020 where you will find news connected with plant health from now on.

Are you organizing an IYPH2020 activity? Please tell us about it by emailing isabel@globalplantcouncil.org
