How to treat the locust plague in Africa in 2020?

From 20 19 to 2020, about 360 billion locusts invaded Africa, resulting in the destruction of food in many places and people living in hunger.

On February 9, locusts invaded Uganda, a central African country, and caused extremely serious impact there. Previously, the locust plague had threatened the food supply in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. This has led to serious disasters in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization claims that if the plague of locusts continues to worsen, the number of locusts will increase by 500 times after they hatch again, which will cause incalculable disasters.

At present, as many as 6.5438+0.2 million people in Africa are facing a serious food shortage, and the situation is getting worse. Because of this locust plague, Somalia has declared a state of emergency, and Kenya is currently spraying pesticides by plane in the northern region, which is considered to be the worst locust plague in the country in 70 years.

The plague of locusts is not only in Africa, but has now spread to the Asian continent. Locusts crossed from the Horn of Africa to Somalia, and then entered Pakistan and India. At present, India is the most seriously affected, and the length of the locust swarm even reaches 60 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide. At present, locusts are gradually flooding in India, and 12 areas in India are affected. More than 200,000 hectares of farmland were destroyed and nearly 400,000 mu of fertile land was affected. With the increasing number of locusts, India is losing more than 40 thousand people's food every day. Under this trend, India will suffer heavy losses.
