Background
What if every plant health expert and enthusiast had free, high-quality capacity development materials available anytime, everywhere, even with limited internet connectivity? The IPPC Plant Health Campus is a new global learning platform developed by the IPPC Secretariat and the FAO elearning Academy, with support from the European Union. It provides multilingual certified self-paced e-learning courses, practical guides, and tools, on key phytosanitary systems, to support national implementation, personal learning, and academic integration.
The webinar can be attended as an interactive online session on Zoom, where sharing perspectives and asking questions to experts is encouraged. The session is also recorded and therefore available at any time, through the FAO elearning Academy: elearning.fao.org.
