How can we develop and apply science, technology, and evidence to inform and deliver a risk-based approach to animal and plant biosecurity?
Background
We want to protect the nation from the effects of animal and plant diseases and pests, to enable sustainable production, trade, and a vibrant natural environment. Our focus is on building resilience to prevent, detect, adapt, and enable risk-based control.
