“…As a result, the increase in impact observed under the chemical control option follows an exponential trend, while the biopesticide option helps slow down the impacts over time. Moreover, we discovered that the option of chemical pesticide and biopesticide combination as an IPM strategy was the best case of the mitigation of desert locust socio-economic impacts, this is supported by (Li et al, 2022) who reported that integrating nature-inspired control strategy within IPM provides the best solution to control desert locust population. Biopesticides can indeed be utilized in rotation programs or in combination with chemical pesticides as part of IPM strategy.…”

“…While offering assistance to affected communities and promoting long‐term resilience may be a sound policy choice, effective control measures for curbing the spread of desert locusts are crucial in mitigating its impacts on stakeholders' livelihoods (Li et al., 2022). Therefore, we anticipate that such scenarios and policy options will contribute to mitigating the impacts and improving people's livelihoods.…”

“…The socio‐economic impacts of desert locusts ( Schistocerca gregaria ) are multifaceted and significant, encompassing a wide range of sectors and communities. An adequate assessment of the impacts on population livelihood is a complex process (FAO, 2006; Li et al., 2022; Srikrishnan et al., 2022). Desert locust is known for its ability to form massive swarms when their numbers increase (Katel et al., 2021; Song, 2004).…”

Desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) infestations cause significant damage to crops and pastureland, impeding food security and livelihoods globally. In recent years, some East African countries have suffered severe desert locust outbreaks, causing significant harm to agriculture and local communities. To comprehensively understand and mitigate the socio‐economic impacts of this pest, an integrated assessment approach is crucial. This study proposes an integrated assessment model that combines ecological, economic, and social dimensions to analyze the multifaceted impacts of the desert locust on the rate of urbanization changes, farming expansion, and food production and how they lead to food unavailability (demand, supply, and price) and food and nutrition insecurity in Eastern Africa. A system dynamics‐based assessment model was first developed for Sudan using the dynamic relations among the factors and their variations over time and how they affect the socio‐economic variables. The developed model was used to spatially simulate the impacts over the entire Eastern Africa. Various scenarios were further simulated and analyzed, incorporating different policy options to effectively mitigate the impacts. Results demonstrated that in all the countries, desert locusts extensively contribute to the slowing down of farming expansion and food production and supply. Consequently, these factors lead to increased urbanization rates through people rural‐urban migration and food demand at different magnitudes across different countries. By considering both short‐term and long‐term effects, this approach aims to provide policymakers, researchers, and practitioners with a holistic understanding of the complex dynamics involved and inform effective management strategies. For example, communities equipped with accurate breeding detection tools and employing an integrated pest management strategy combining chemical pesticides and biopesticides had the highest potential for effectively mitigating the future impacts of desert locusts for enhancing community livelihood.

“…Azadiractin, Pathogenic fungus, Bacillus thuringiensis, protease inhibitors are some of the biocontrol measures. Many natural enemies have also been used at various scenarios [17,18]. Effective locust control requires coordinated efforts and collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, and international organizations.…”

Locust Outbreaks in India and the Impact of Climate Change

Locusts differ from ordinary grasshoppers in their ability to swarm over long distances and are among the oldest migratory pests. The ecology and life history of locusts make them among the most devastating pests worldwide. Here, we review the locust outbreaks in recent years in the light of climate change. The outbreaks heavily affect the agricultural sectors, which is the foundation of national economies and social stability, and have had profound socio-economic impacts on rural communities in India. Global warming is likely the main cause of locust plague outbreak in recent decades. More recent outbreaks, such as those in 2019-2020, have highlighted the continued vulnerability of Indian agriculture to locust infestations. Despite advances in locust control technology and coordination mechanisms, challenges remain in effectively managing locust outbreaks in India. Climate change, land-use practices, and socio-economic factors are likely to influence the frequency and intensity of future locust outbreaks, necessitating adaptive strategies and resilience-building measures.

“…The Japanese beetle is an invasive insect and feeds on veins of leaves (Althoff and Rice, 2022). The desert locust is the most destructive migratory insect and is able to consume nearly all species of crops, including vegetables, fruit trees, grasses, cereal crops, and hard trees (Shuang et al, 2022). The potato beetle has developed resistance to various insecticides and causes potato seedlings to mature slowly and produce less yield (Rondon et al, 2021).…”

The application of biopesticides is progressively encouraged for its advantages associated with environmental safety and high biodegradability. The objectives of this study were to compare the phytochemical constituents, anti-feedant, and molluscicidal activities of spices against the giant African land snail, Achatina fulica. The spices evaluated were clove (Syzygium aromaticum), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), black pepper (Piper nigrum), cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum). Phytochemical constituents of spices were screened by qualitative standard protocols. Anti-feedant activity was investigated by the leaf disc no-choice bioassay method and molluscicidal activity was evaluated by a 72-h contact toxicity test. The phytochemical screening showed positive results for tannins, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols in clove, cinnamon, cumin and coriander ethanolic extracts whereas only tannins, alkaloids and terpenoids were found in the black pepper ethanolic extract. The leaf disc no-choice bioassay revealed that all spices demonstrated anti-feedant activity (p<0.05, compared to control). However, only clove (85.33±3.09%), cinnamon (72.35±3.41%) and coriander (81.54±3.88%) ethanolic extracts showed high feeding inhibition activity, whereas black pepper (68.85±3.22%) and cumin (68.96±3.12%) had moderate anti-feedant activity. In the contact toxicity test, clove ethanolic extract (52.67±1.53%) showed moderate molluscicidal activity, meanwhile cinnamon (19.34±2.08%), black pepper (16.65±1.15%), cumin (18.96±1.42%) and coriander (22.67±1.37%) demonstrated low molluscicidal activity. In conclusion, all spices tested in this study showed the presence of important secondary metabolites that contribute to anti-feedant and molluscicidal activities at differening levels.
