SDSN Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems is organizing a fully online e-conference on the fall armyworm (FAW) outbreak in Asia. Since the arrival of FAW in Asia last year, we would like to take stock of what we know about the FAW outbreak in Asia, how we can respond and what we could learn from the African experience.

Frédéric Baudron, CIMMYT Systems Agronomist, will be presenting at this event to share experiences from Africa in understanding factors conditioning FAW infestation and quantifying its impact on yield.
