Agricultural Biosecurity - The National Agricultural Law Center
Recent events, specifically the attacks of September 11 and the discovery of cows with BSE within the United States, have highlighted significant vulnerabilities in the United States' agriculture and food sector to dangerous pathogens and agents either intentionally or unintentionally introduced into the system. To address this newly-understood threat, Congress, the White House, federal agencies and state governments have bolstered current food safety and security regimes and created some new regulatory authority. The resulting system sees numerous agencies with varied responsibilities in ensuring the security of the agricultural and food system, with the primary agencies' being the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
