International Day of Plant Health on the 12th of May
The United Nations has designated the 12th of May as the International Day of Plant Health (IDPH). This International Day is one of the main legacies of the International Year of Plant Health 2020. The main objective of the IDPH is to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect biodiversity and the environment, and boost economic development. A virtual event will take place on the 12th of May, and everyone is invited to make a #PlantHealth commitment on this #PlantHealthDay!
