Biosecurity in agriculture refers to practices aimed at preventing the introduction and spread of harmful pests, diseases, and invasive species that can threaten crop production and food safety. Measures such as quarantine, crop inspections, and the use of pest-resistant crop varieties are essential components of an effective biosecurity plan. Additionally, biosecurity involves controlling the movement of soil, equipment, and animals to minimize the risk of contamination. Maintaining biosecurity is crucial for ensuring the health and productivity of crops, safeguarding biodiversity, and protecting the global food supply. By strengthening biosecurity protocols, farmers can reduce the risk of crop losses and support sustainable agricultural systems.
