Farmers Asked to Provide Input on Biosecurity Practices

The Canadian Plant Health Council has launched a short survey to hear from farmers about the biosecurity practices they use on their farm.

Biosecurity practices are critical to protecting farms by preventing and minimizing the spread of plant pests and ensuring that agri-food trade is not disrupted. That's why the Council is interested in knowing what biosecurity practices are implemented across Canada. The information collected through this survey will help the Council and its working groups increase awareness and uptake of biosecurity practices.

The short survey, which is available here, is open until June 30. Participation is voluntary, confidential and anonymous.

The Canadian Plant Health Council consists of members from industry, academia and government, including the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, working together to implement the Plant and Animal Health Strategy for Canada. The Plant and Animal Health Strategy for Canada provides a national vision to address and prevent evolving risks to plant and animal health in Canada.
