Outbreaks: Tackling Emerging Plant Diseases that Threaten Food Security January 10,  2020, 1-7PM  The Emerging Plant Disease and Global Food Security Cluster held a symposium in January to highlight the innovative research of the cluster team.  The cluster works to improve both local and global efforts to manage emerging pests and pathogens that threaten crop production and lead to food insecurity. NC State has a strong history in conducting international agricultural research and outreach. Many emerging “armed and dangerous” plant diseases and pests threaten US and global agriculture and reported outbreaks have become more severe with trade and changing climate.  See the EBD Program here.
