Biosecurity has become a major economic issue of concern to governments, agricultural industries and environmental organisations worldwide.
Despite its wide impact and complexities the opportunities for scientific exchange (among researchers and industry) has until now, been limited.
Global Biosecurity 2010: safeguarding agriculture and the environment will provide a forum for stakeholders from across the biosecurity spectrum, including researchers, industry representatives, policy makers, primary producers and importers/exporters, to:
- workshop, network and exchange knowledge on agricultural and environmental biosecurity
- facilitate engagement and cross-fertilisation of ideas between researchers and their end-users (industry, regulators and other end-users), and
- build cross-disciplinary networks across all biosecurity related disciplines.
