Increase and maintain trust to ensurepeople feel safe where they live, wherethey work, and in their environment New Technologies: How are new technologies and work practices being adopted by those using chemicals (e.g. next generation crop protection, variable rate application, genetic modification and biological pesticides etc) and which emerging innovations are considered most viable (e.g. digital agriculture, field monitoring, robotics, etc) and likely to become mainstream and transformative? How can we ensure appropriate regulation ensuring chemicals are used safely whilst promoting the adoption of technologies with the potential to improve the sustainability of chemical use? Health and Safety Executive, 2023

Biosecurity: protecting animals and plants from health risks The risk of an unknown pandemic human disease (“disease x) has been at the top of the National Risk Register for some time and been realised this year in the shape of COVID-19. Two thirds of new human infectious diseases originate in animals. How can we better understand and prepare for future threats? How can we better join up animal and human health research, capability, and digital backbone across government to facilitate agile responses? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
