The CABI-led Plantwise programme, which has helped millions of smallholder farmers realise a 12-30% increase in crop-based activity and income, has won the IPM Team/Group category at the 2021 International IPM Achievement Awards.
Judges were impressed with the impact of the Plantwise programme - launched in 2011 - which has supported over 44 million farmers around the world with the knowledge they need to lose less of what they grow to pests and diseases, thereby increasing food security and improving rural livelihoods.
Plantwise operates in over 30 countries across Africa, Asia, South/Central America and the Caribbean. Through its network of plant clinics, plant health rallies, mass extension campaigns and farmer-to-farmer sharing of information, Plantwise has helped bring about a 5% reduction in the likelihood of a household falling below the poverty line of USD$1.25 a day.

https://www.hangthecensors.com/480728.html (Natural News) Stephen C.A. Walroud, a politician from Curacao, a country in the southern Caribbean, alleged that the Netherlands forced them to adopt a controversial emergency law, dictating how that country fights against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).
Curacao is a “constituent country” of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, meaning that it is provided a large degree of autonomy but is still technically not an independent nation. While their constitution affords them a great degree of autonomy, this has not stopped the Dutch government from trying to meddle in the country’s affairs.
This proved true quite recently when the government in Curacao, with the backing of the Dutch government, passed the National Ordinance Exceptional Situation Act, better known as the emergency law. The new law includes a series of policies that the government can quickly enact after the government declares a state of emergency.
