Every year, plant pests destroy up to 40% of global agricultural yields, threatening food security, biodiversity and forestry systems. Led by Stephen Parnell, the new €6 million Horizon Europe project PhytoPRISM brings together 15 partners across eight countries to develop the first platform capable of coordinating pest management across the entire agri-food chain. By combining advanced epidemiological modelling with real-world expertise, the project will help plant health authorities make smarter, faster and more cost-effective decisions to protect crops and build more resilient food systems across Europe.
