About this ebook

Agriculture represents one of America’s critical infrastructures. The second edition of Food Supply Protection and Homeland Security addresses threats to humans including the introduction of anthrax, various poisons, small pox, or salmonella to our food supply. As in the first edition, the author examines the state of our food protection readiness. The battle plan against our food supply is examined and a blueprint for defense is included. From the farm to the highways, readers can examine what the federal government is doing to protect our food supply, as well as study actual cases of domestic–related contamination and terrorism and identify potential targets.

Food Supply Protection and Homeland Security presents commonsense methodologies in a straightforward, but engaging manner. It was written in response to the critical needs of food production managers, agricultural managers, students, and anyone with a general interest in the security of their food supply system.
