This book is based on EU-funded project PLANTFOODSEC, covering intentional and unintentional threats to plant biosecurity and to food safety areas. Biosecurity is a strategic and integrated approach for analysing and managing relevant risks to human, animal and plant life and health, and associated risks to the environment. Interest in biosecurity has risen considerably over the last decade in parallel with the increasing trade in food and plant and animal products; higher levels of international travel; new outbreaks of transboundary diseases. Although most diseases outbreaks have natural causes or are the result of inadvertent introductions of pathogens through human activities, the risk of a deliberate introduction of a high consequence plant pathogen cannot be excluded. Vigilance is required to identify, prevent and manage new and emerging issues that could impact on production capacity, plant biosecurity or food safety and food chain resilience. /div

Agriculture is often under the threat of invasive species of animal pests and pathogens that do harm to crops. It is essential to have the best methods and tools available to prevent this harm. Biosecurity is a mixture of institutions, policies, and science applications that attempts to prevent the spread of unhealthy pests. Tactical Sciences for Biosecurity in Animal and Plant Systems focuses on the tactical sciences needed to succeed in the biosecurity objectives of preventing plant and animal pathogens from entering or leaving the United States. This book explores a divergence of tactics between plant and animal exotic disease response. Covering topics such as animal pests and pathogens, tactical management, and early detection, this book is an essential resource for researchers, academicians, university faculty, government biosecurity practitioners, customs officers, clinical scientists, and students.

Prevention and preparedness are the two basic approaches to maximize food security against any sort of tampering, whether natural, inadvertent or intentional. The NATO funded project “Tools for crop biosecurity” was designed to strengthen the cooperation among U.S., Europe and Israel in the field of crop biosecurity and to generate awareness on how the psychological, economic and cultural consequences of crop bioterrorism, especially attacks on soft targets such as crop seeds, could have a disproportionate adverse effect on Mediterranean agriculture and, more generally, on society. This book illustrates the achievements of the project originated from the workshops organized during the project itself taking in consideration main microbiological threads posed to crops, the tools to recognize and to control them, the needs for international cooperation and research funds to create networks which can face emerging risks for agriculture.

Routledge Handbook Of Biosecurity And Invasive Species written by Kezia Barker and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-05-11 with Science categories.
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the assessment and management of potentially dangerous infectious diseases, quarantined pests, invasive (alien) species, living modified organisms and biological weapons, from a multitude of perspectives. Issues of biosecurity have gained increasing attention over recent years but have often only been addressed from narrow disciplines and with a lack of integration of theoretical and practical approaches. The Routledge Handbook of Biosecurity and Invasive Species brings together both the natural sciences and the social sciences for a fully rounded perspective on biosecurity, shedding light on current national and international management frameworks with a mind to assessing possible future scenarios. With chapters focussing on a variety of ecosystems – including forests, islands, marine and coastal and agricultural land – as well as from the industrial scale to individual gardens, this handbook reviews the global state of invasions and vulnerabilities across a wide range of themes and critically analyses key threats and threatening activities, such as trade, travel, land development and climate change. Identifying invasive species and management techniques from a regional to international scale, this book will be a key reference text for a wide range of students and academics in ecology, agriculture, geography, human and animal health and interdisciplinary environmental and security studies.

Synthetic biology is a field of biotechnology that is rapidly growing in various applications, such as in medicine, environmental sustainability, and energy production. However these technologies also have unforeseen risks and applications to humans and the environment. This open access book presents discussions on risks and mitigation strategies for these technologies including biosecurity, or the potential of synthetic biology technologies and processes to be deliberately misused for nefarious purposes. The book presents strategies to prevent, mitigate, and recover from 'dual-use concern' biosecurity challenges that may be raised by individuals, rogue states, or non-state actors. Several key topics are explored including opportunities to develop more coherent and scalable approaches to govern biosecurity from a laboratory perspective up to the international scale and strategies to prevent potential health and environmental hazards posed by deliberate misuse of synthetic biology without stifling innovation. The book brings together the expertise of top scholars in synthetic biology and biotechnology risk assessment, management, and communication to discuss potential biosecurity governing strategies and offer perspectives for collaboration in oversight and future regulatory guidance.

The term Intelligent Environments (IEs) refers to physical spaces in which information and communication technologies are interwoven with sensing technologies, innovative user interfaces, robotics and artificial intelligence to create interactive spaces which increase the awareness and enhance the experience of those occupying them. The growing IE community is rooted in academia, but increasingly involves practitioners. It explores the core ideas of IEs as well as the factors necessary to make them a reality, such as energy efficiency, the computational constraints of edge devices and privacy issues. This book presents papers from Workshops held during the 18th International Conference on Intelligent Environments, IE2022, held as a hybrid conference in Biarritz, France, from 20 to 23 June 2022. The conference is now recognized as a major annual venue in the field of IE. It offers a truly international forum for the exchange of information and ideas, and welcomes contributions from all technically active regions of the planet. Included here are 35 papers from the 1st International Workshop on Sentiment Analysis and Emotion Recognition for Social Robots (SENTIRobots’22); 1st International Workshop on Edge AI for Smart Agriculture (EAISA’22); 2nd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Emerging Topics (ALLEGET’22); 11th International Workshop on the Reliability of Intelligent Environments (WoRIE’22); 2nd International Workshop on Self-Learning in Intelligent Environments (SeLIE’22); 5th Workshop on Citizen Centric Smart Cities Solutions (CCSCS’22); 11th International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting Healthcare and Well-being (WISHWell’22) Exploring some of the latest research and developments in the field, the book will be of interest to all those working with intelligent environments and its associated technologies.
