U.S. agriculture is very vulnerable to attack through animal, plant, or zoonotic pathogens; one attack could affect an entire sector of the food chain. Rich with alarming yet elucidating scenarios/vignettes of potential threats to the Agriculture system, Threats to Agriculture: A Strategic National Security Asset defines agroterrorism and provides examples of attack through animal pathogens, human pathogens, and zoonotic pathogens. The book provides Homeland Security and FEMA professionals, state and local emergency managers, security consultants, and agricultural engineers with recommended actions for prevention and mitigation to protect agricultural resources.
