Agricultural diseases pose a significant threat to global food security, affecting crops and livestock. These diseases, caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can lead to yield losses, economic strain, and food shortages. Effective disease management strategies involve the use of resistant crop varieties, precision farming technologies, and biosecurity measures. Continuous research and innovation in plant pathology and veterinary sciences are crucial to understanding and combating emerging agricultural diseases. Integrated pest management practices and early detection systems play a vital role in preventing the spread of diseases and minimizing their impact on agricultural production. Addressing agricultural diseases is essential for sustaining global food production and ensuring the resilience of agricultural systems in the face of evolving challenges.
