Abstract

Trans-sectorial approaches sustainable disease control across agribusiness districts Here, Professor Laura Grenville-Briggs shares her stance on working together to counter the threat of oomycete diseases, focussing on trans-sectoral approaches to support sustainable plant and fish production systems in Europe. Oomycetes-microbes that superficially resemble fungi- are devastating pathogens affecting many plants and animals. Oomycete diseases in our agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture production systems, as well as natural or managed ecosystems constitute a significant threat to food security, environmental sustainability and economic stability. Moreover, under current climate change predictions, oomycete diseases are predicted to spread polewards (1) and, with more unpredictable weather patterns, are likely to be more disruptive in the future.
