EUFAWREADY

Coordinated by the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), the Horizon Europe project EUFAWREADY (June 2025 to May 2029) aims to protect European agriculture from potential outbreaks of the Fall Armyworm. The project brings together 25 partners to enhance the readiness of agricultural stakeholders, such as farmers, advisors, technicians, industry professionals, and plant health authorities.

EUFAWREADY provides stakeholders with essential tools for early detection and effective management of the FAW within the EU. By focusing on proactive preparation, the project aims to minimize the pest’s economic, environmental, and social impacts. A central goal is to limit the expected increase in synthetic pesticide use across European agroecosystems by developing sustainable control methods and advanced monitoring systems. This unified approach ensures that the agricultural sector remains resilient and that food supplies are protected from the damage caused by this invasive insect.
