The food and agricultural sectors of all nations are
vulnerable to terrorism incidents or threats. With worldwide
cooperation, collaboration, and information-sharing among
representatives from governments, the private sector, and academia, the
potential for agroterrorism can be reduced.
The main mission of the International Symposium on Agroterrorism (ISA), now in its third year, is to protect the food supply worldwide while illustrating the importance of a coordinated effort.
More than 1,000 individuals from 21 different countries have attended past ISAs, participating in break-out education sessions and case studies, hearing world-renowned experts discuss agroterrorism, and interacting with each other. Attendance is expected to be even greater in 2008. An exhibit hall will provide ISA sponsors and exhibitors an opportunity to showcase relevant products and services.
Coming together under one roof is the first step toward working together to solve the problem.
