Eradication efforts refer to organized actions aimed at completely eliminating a specific disease or pest from a particular area. These initiatives often involve vaccination programs, public health campaigns, and environmental management. A notable example is the global effort to eradicate smallpox, which was declared successful in 1980 after extensive vaccination campaigns. In agriculture, eradication efforts target pests that threaten crops. Strategies may include the use of pesticides, biological control methods, and crop rotation. The goal is to protect food supplies and maintain ecosystem balance. Successful eradication can lead to increased agricultural productivity and improved food security.
