About this app

"An interactive and sustainable platform for new farmers (Phase I): agricultural pests commonly found in Hong Kong" (SADF 0024) is an e-platform project funded by Sustainable Agricultural Development Fund.


The project aims to provide an interactive and sustainable electronic platform, which is about agricultural pests commonly found in Hong Kong, for new farmers. By making observations for two consecutive years (from 2020-2021), pests found in agricultural products in Hong Kong and the types of edible plants where they inhabit in various farms will be identified and recorded during different seasons. In addition, the findings of the survey and other related information (including methods for pest control) will be uploaded to a free and public interactive platform (i.e. mobile application and website).
