蝗灾是许多发展中国家的一个主要问题。对于沙漠蝗，预防性战略的控制证明是有效的，并导致过去40年来爆发频率和持续时间急剧减少。现在的主要问题是组织性问题。必须实施与新的财政机制相结合的蝗灾自然风险管理计划，以确保早期反应、控制效率和预防办法的可持续性。对这些暴发的研究应以迄今为止所考虑的生态机制为基础，但也应扩大到包括过去在很大程度上被忽视的经济、社会、组织和文化机制。应该认真考虑风险管理系统、利益相关者战略和治理等新概念。提出了一种利用社会学和人类学技术解决蝗虫问题的新方法。
Plague locusts are a major problem in many developing countries. For the desert locust, control by a preventive strategy proved effective, and led to a dramatic decrease in outbreak frequency and duration over the last 40 y. Principal problems are now of an organizational nature. Natural-risk management plans for locust outbreaks, associated with new financial mechanisms, must be implemented in order to ensure early reaction, efficiency of control and sustainability of the preventive approach. Studies of these outbreaks should be based on the ecological mechanisms considered to date, but also be broadened to include economic, social, organizational and cultural mechanisms that have been largely overlooked in the past. New concepts, such as risk-management systems, stakeholder strategies, and governance, should be given serious consideration. A new approach to locust issues is suggested, using techniques derived from sociological and anthropological sciences.
