Agricultural Biosecurity

Agricultural biosecurity involves measures to protect farms, crops, and livestock from harmful microorganisms, pests, and diseases. It aims to prevent the introduction, spread, and impact of biological threats that can damage food production, the economy, and the environment. This includes practices like controlling access to farms, disinfecting equipment, monitoring for pests, and managing deer or wild animals that may carry disease. Effective biosecurity safeguards ensure healthy agriculture, secure food supplies, and sustainable farming practices by reducing risks from both natural and accidental sources of infection.
