Agbioscience was on-site at the Indiana Farm Bureau’s Ag Threats and Security Summit in March and had a chance to sit down with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s Special Agent in Charge Herb Stapleton to talk all things biosecurity. We get into:
- The complex labyrinth of threats and risks affecting agriculture in the Midwest and across the United States
- How threats to agriculture are evolving and what that evolution means for farmers and agbioscience companies alike
- As Special Agent in Charge, what Herb has witnessed as the most prevalent cyber threats to ag across the Midwest in recent years
- Herb’s perspective on the relationship between food security and national security
- What controls farmers and agbioscience companies can put in place to be prepared
- Action items Herb hopes attendees take from the event – from the simple to the complex
