#RFBellagio Building resilience against crop diseases: A global surveillance system, February 2018
The conference on “Building resilience against crop diseases: A global surveillance system” is supported by the Rockefeller Foundation and will be held Feb. 12-16, 2018, at The Bellagio Center in Lake Como, Italy. Simone Staiger, Head of Knowledge Management and Learning at CIAT, is facilitating the meeting.
- #RFBellagio Why can't plant pathologists do this? 20K strains sequenced and in genbank per year. Hugely useful. Always excuses, global trade, socioeconomics bla bla. As if FDA/foodborne diseases don't have these issues... https://twitter.com/richardneher/status/964098959944888325 …
- #RFBellagio Angela continues to highlight the importance of bringing the regulators along with the group as they have a key role to play in surveillance. This is an important lesson learned from several projects. @IITA_CGIAR @CIAT_
- #RFBellagio Baldissera considers that one of the key conditions for success in projects supported by Euphresco is goodwill between the project participants @Euphresco @IITA_CGIAR @CIAT_
- #RFBellagio Blake considers that the definition of success is working with a diverse set of actors such as those collected here to support farmers in managing the impacts of pest outbreaks and disease epidemics @IITA_CGIAR @CIAT_

- @talbotlabexeter @KamounLab Thanks Sophien for sharing the questions and thanks to Nick for the input. I will share with the group! #RFBellagio
- @KamounLab How to deal with trade-sensitive diseases? - Flexibility and common sense. Must trust that scientists will be open in what is reported based on scientific evidence and let policymakers determine actions base on that evidence. I know this is hard, but it is essential.#RFBellagio
- @KamounLab How to develop a real-time information system? - Needs international co-ordination/funding via CGIAR/Charity sector but private sec tor have much to offer in terms of innovation. Look at @BlueRiverTech or http://Resson.com & others in this space. #RFBellagio
- @KamounLab What should we be doing in anticipation of future crop disease outbreaks? -Assume all disease will move, due to globalisation. An international network of disease nurseries would help monitor prevailing diseases globally, so pre-emptive strategies/research can happen.#RFBellagio
- @KamounLab How to mount faster and more effective response? - Clear commitment to open science, removing obstacles to movement of strains/germplasm/DNA, open sharing/crowd-sourcing for data analysis, rapid deployment of funding streams. Above all - flexibility at every level. #RFBellagio
- IITA and NAQS established a digital Crop Diseases Surveillance (CDS) in Nigeria for real time information sharing and emergency response. CDS is coordinated by the Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Services (NAQS) #RFBellagio #RFBellagio
