2020第四十八屆捷克利迪策國際繪畫展比賽
Our thanks for the opening picture of the 48th ICEFA invitation go to Ema Pršalová from the Art School Prague 5.
THEME:
The UN General Assembly declared 2020 International Year of Plant Health. Healthy plants are important for all life on the Earth, for the proper functioning of ecosystems and for food safety. Plant pests and diseases damage crops, decreasing availability of food and increasing the cost of food production. Helping to maintain sound environment, forests and biodiversity and overcome climatic changes, healthy plants support the fight against famine, poverty and malnutrition.
