Monitor the impact of known pest and disease problems
Accumulation of data over time to shed light on the emergence patterns of specific pests and diseases
Ensure the early identification of new pest and disease problems
Improve capacity for pest and pathogen identification
Inform future disease research focus areas, both in terms of long and short term projects
