Abstract

The contribution of CABI digital tools in enhancing plant health and pest risk management is examined. Six key digital tools are reviewed to draw themes on their benefits and challenges to users and assessed using the Principles for Digital Development as a guiding framework. CABI digital tools provide quick access to relevant information, support informed decision-making, and are open access and scalable. Enhancing user accessibility and considering diverse local contexts, especially in remote areas with poor internet connectivity, can extend their impact. Addressing financial and social sustainability, including gender barriers to mobile ownership, can also increase their contribution.
