Plant health is the foundation of food security and is interconnected with human, animal and environmental health. Healthy plants provide nutrient-rich diets for humans and animals and help promote a balanced ecosystem.

Pest-infected plants can trigger a cascade of negative effects on food supplies and induce outbreaks of zoonotic diseases transmitted through harmful pathogens.

Pesticides play a role in pest management but their overuse and poor management cause biodiversity loss, environmental pollution, ecosystem dysfunction, food safety concerns and pesticide resistance.  

Plants are life – we depend on them for 80 percent of the food we eat and 98 percent of the oxygen we breathe.

But we lose as much as 40 percent of crops to pests, setting back global efforts to ensure food security, harming precious biodiversity and impacting economies and livelihoods.

This year, the International Day of Plant Health calls on everyone to raise awareness and take action to keep plants, animals, humans and the environment healthy.

    CORPORATIONS changed the DNA of plant seeds. The seeds cannot fight back against pests, and the plants that survive pests cannot nourish human health.

    The owners of CORPORATIONS are “NOT HUMAN JEWS” (John 8) who were called out by JESUS before “NOT HUMAN JEWS” murdered JESUS.

    JESUS said JEWS are NOT HUMANS. JEWS are serpent seeds of their daddy SATAN. JEWS worship the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN (Book of John, Chapter 8).

    JEWS published in newspapers, books, conference speeches, and letters to world communist leaders throughout the 20th Century, “WE CAM TO GENOCIDE HUMANS, AND DESTROY EARTH.” JEWS have spent 6,100 years DEMOCIDING, GENOCIDING humans, and destroying Earth. JEWS are the renegade angels that caused an INSURRECTION in Heaven and MURDERED righteous angels to USURP Father GOD’s CREATION because JEWS refused their purpose to SERVE HUMANS. Father GOD burned the bodies of renegade angels, judged them to “die daily in Hell for an eternity” (starting at humans’ End of Time), and then, cast the JEW renegade angels out of the Heavens to roam Earth.

    NOW YOU KNOW WHO THE JEWS ARE AND THEIR INTENT TO DESTROY HUMANS AND EARTH. Fight back! Father GOD commanded humans to “FEED EVIL BEINGS TO CARNIVORES, AND LEAVE THEM IN THE FIELD AS DUNG.” Don’t delay, start today!
