Agricultural Biosecurity
Need 6: Inadequate Biosecurity Infrastructure on Small Farms
Challenge: High implementation cost
Challenge: Space limitations on smaller farms
Opportunity: Portable disinfection systems
Challenge: Maintenance and compliance issues
Opportunity: Government subsidy programs for infrastructure upgrades
Stakeholder: Farm owners/operators
Stakeholder: Agricultural policy makers
Stakeholder: Equipment manufacturers
Opportunity: Modular sanitation or quarantine station designs
Need 1: On-Farm Disease Prevention Systems
Opportunity: Development of integrated pest management
Challenge: Upfront Technology Investment and Technical Expertise
Opportunity: Precision Health Monitoring Technologies
Challenge: Market and Economic Pressure from Consolidated Operations
Opportunity: cooperative biosecurity networks and information sharing
Challenge: Resistance to Changing Established Practices
Stakeholder: Meat packaging facilities
Stakeholder: Vets
Need 3: Advanced-Technology Pest-Surveillance Systems for Disease Prediction
Opportunity: Updated Insect Travel Pattern Systems
Opportunity: Pest Disease Diagnostic Imaging Systems Using AI
Opportunity: Pest Forecasting, taking adaptive potential into account
Challenge: High upfront costs, might exhaust pre-existing resources meant for current surveillance systems
Challenge: No way to pre-determine which combination of surveillance tools is most efficient in a case-by-case basis
Challenge: Need a large interdisciplinary team of experts to accomplish this task
Challenge: Government systems must recognize planet health as interconnected to public health, and form cross-sector initiatives because of this
Stakeholder: Ecologists
Stakeholder: Biologists
Need 8: Environmental Spread of Pathogens Between Farms
Challenge: Environmental regulation complexity
Challenge: Cost of waste treatment systems
Opportunity: Buffer-zone and wildlife control strategies
Challenge: Pathogen spread via wildlife and water sources
Opportunity: Geographic disease modeling tools
Stakeholder: Neighboring communities
Opportunity: improved waste and manure management systems
Stakeholder: Environmental protection agencies
Stakeholder: Livestock transport and feed supply companies
Need 7: Strengthening US Surveillance for Disease Outbreaks
Challenge: Ethical issues in privacy and data security
Challenge: Communication between agencies
Stakeholder: Farmers
Challenge: Limitations in rural and low-resourced areas
Stakeholder: CDC
Opportunity: Expand support to small and local communities
Stakeholder: USDA
Opportunity: Response plans in case of an agro-terrorism attack
Opportunity: Innovative AI tools for disease detection
Need 5: Monitoring Disease-Associated Phenotypes in Plants
Opportunity: Incorporate information from existing sources, e.g. pictures of plants on street-view in google maps, citizen science data, etc.
Challenge: Getting data from various, non inter-connected sources together
Challenge: Developing proactive real-time data and data analysis systems that signal active alerts
Opportunity: Innovate tools like analyzing plant volatiles
Challenge: Integrating the data in a way that applies appropriate statistical weights to types of data
Opportunity: Streamline alternative plant surveillance systems and reduce the number of samplings required
Stakeholder: Owners of virtual navigation systems
Stakeholder: Plant pathologists
Need 2: Wastewater Management and Water Quality Protection
Opportunity: Development of Decentralized Treatment Technologies
Opportunity: Market Differentiation and Premium Products
Opportunity: Government Incentives and Cost-Sharing Programs
Challenge: High Capital and Operating Costs
Challenge: Technical Knowledge and Infrastructure Gaps
Challenge: Regulatory Compliance and Monitoring Burden
Stakeholder: Neighbouring families
Stakeholder: Water Treatment facilities
Need 4: Increasing Plant Biodiversity for Ecosystem Stability
Opportunity: Reduced need for tillage practices protects soil structure integrity
Opportunity: Agriculture becomes more resistant to extreme weather
Opportunity: More habitats for other species of animals, e.g. bees
Challenge: Reduce tillage from increasing biodiversity may sometimes benefit pests that may carry disease
Challenge: Possibility of introducing disease-tolerant plants, which may increase the risk of disease in more sensitive varieties
Opportunity: Increasing biodiversity may decrease the need of synthetic fertilizers, which limits disease development
Stakeholders: Farmers
Stakeholders: Synthetic fertilizer companies
Plants can act as a harbor of previously harmless pests that can become harmful overtime
