Where are Academic Educational Programs ?
The National Center for Food Protection and
Defense (NCFPD), led by the University of
Minnesota, defends the safety of the food system
from pre-farm inputs through consumption by
establishing best practices, developing new
tools, and attracting new researchers to
prevent, manage, and respond to food
contamination events. The National Center for
Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease Defense
(FAZD), led by Texas AM University, protects
against the introduction of high-consequence
foreign animal and zoonotic diseases into the
United States, with an emphasis on prevention,
surveillance, intervention, and recovery.

Nationwide Agroterrorism and Food-Systems
Preparedness
Do we have a national strategy for preparing for
agricultural or food systems disasters? Should
we have one?
The DHS-National Response Plan may be a
guide---are all of the training DHS-Partners
onboard?
How much overlap do we have a. in the
partners programs and b. in other non-DHS
training programs?
Are there strategies for bringing DHS-partners
and other programs into a strategic program that
will enhance agroterrorism and food-systems prepa
redness, nationwide? How can we make this
happen? Should academia take the lead?
