Africa is burdened by food insecurity with nearly a billion people suffering from starvation, undernutrition, and malnutrition. Climate change prediction models forecast changes in rainfall patterns and rising temperature regimes, with impacts particularly on Southern and East Africa. These predictions are especially concerning for the production of major food crops, such as maize, sorghum, millet, and groundnut, because median temperature increases are associated with increased pest pressure and changes in migratory patterns. These factors will result in significantly more pest invasions and an increased need for innovative insect management practices. This review focuses on pest control strategies, highlighting important examples, their economic impact, and new alternative pest control strategies. African policymakers remain hesitant to move forward with establishing biosafety laws and commercializing GM crops, and it is often difficult to implement regulatory measures in smallholder agriculture to increase efficacy.

为撒哈拉以南非洲地区的昆虫防治定义生物技术解决方案

非洲饱受粮食不安全的困扰,近十亿人遭受饥饿,营养不良和营养不良。气候变化预测模型预测降雨模式的变化和气温升高的趋势,特别是对南部和东部非洲的影响。这些预测特别涉及主要粮食作物的生产,例如玉米,高粱,小米和花生,因为中间温度的升高与病虫害压力的增加和迁徙方式的变化有关。这些因素将导致更多的虫害入侵,并需要更多创新的昆虫管理方法。这篇综述着重于害虫控制策略,重点介绍了重要的例子,它们的经济影响以及新的替代性害虫控制策略。
