PRISE
Pest Risk Information Service: Helping to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers by reducing crop losses
By combining earth observation technology, modelling pest outbreaks, and real-time field observations, the Pest Risk Information Service (PRISE) can deliver tailored pest alerts and actionable advice to farmers.
Pest outbreaks are devastating. Especially to those who rely on the crops they can grow for their food and livelihoods. Pests don’t respect political boundaries and their movements are increasingly unpredictable due to climate change. They are a huge problem around the world and hamper the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 2.
