Fall Armyworm Monitoring and Early Warning System (FAMEWS)

Innovation is the main driver of agricultural and rural transformation. This video highlights support provided by FAO to countries in adopting and scaling-up sustainable practices, particularly by promoting agricultural innovation to smallholder farmers. FAO has developed and deployed a Fall Armyworm Monitoring and Early Warning System (FAMEWS). Through this app and its platform, data on Fall Armyworm can be collected at the farm level and collated for sharing at local, national and global levels to manage the pest, identify priority areas, and foster early warning mechanisms for all stakeholders.
