Intentional introduction of animal or plant disease agent. CA Department of Agriculture estimates the impact would be at least that great in the U.S. Use of an Ag input product or technology. Many of our technologies are used to disperse products/chemicals evenly. Intentional environmental breach from waste, chemical storage, or food processor. Threats: the "Who" - al Qaeda, local activists, others with an agenda, unhappy workers, or vandals/thieves. The food industry needs to be realistic in their assessment. Take home points to consider. We have a limited "opportunity" and access to public mindspace in the areas in which we work. Partnerships are important.. Many of the areas of concern have significant overlaps. Keywords
