Biosocial Security: Social Science Transformations of Biosecurity
Biosecurity, the management of biological threats to humans, animals, and environments, is critical for health, economy, pandemic preparedness, and food security. In agricultural settings, it involves protecting livestock and workers from infectious diseases. The tendency is to take an engineering approach, aiming to minimise system breaches or failures. But this Biosecurity I approach is failing. Infection pressures are growing with climate and other environmental changes. Resulting livestock systems can make animals and landscapes less resilient and expose farms and workers to greater risks. Implementation costs are high, non-compliant farms can be excluded from markets, resulting in…
