Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Plant Biosecurity

This program aims at ensuring a continued supply of safe, high-quality, affordable food and fiber for consumers in the U.S. and international trade partners. The goal of the program is to harness our Nation's scientific and technological resources to help agricultural producers and professionals implement strategies to safeguard agriculture in the U.S. from critical and emerging high-consequence plant pathogens and arthropods. To accomplish this, the program will focus on integrated research and education and/or extension projects, as well as single-function extension projects that counter threats to the agriculture system in the U.S., both by stepwise improvements to current responses and by development of innovative new capabilities.
