Don't be Bugged by pests - go FAO!

OK, you can either read FAO Forestry Paper 164, Guide to implementation of phytosanitary standards in forestry, or watch the video: Our world has become more global, with greater access to world markets from more places on earth. But with it comes an increase in the transport and introduction of invasive bugs -- these invasive pests can lead to agricultural and economic disaster if left unchecked and unmonitored. The UN Food and Agricultural organization, or FAO works on a global scale with nations and organizations worldwide to stem the movement of these bugs and pests. The US Forest Service is a proud partner and supporter of these efforts, and is excited to be part of a new guide to preventing the transfer of these pests in forest and wood products.

I thought it was great. Help to loosen FAO up a little. Are they circulating it now? I'm going to post it on my Facebook page.

Doug Kneeland shared this with me.
