TopicBiosecurity & Food Security
ContentFederal programs for biosecurity and food security continue to have many major deficiencies. Oklahoma needs to explore ways and means to help educate all segments of our agriculture industry on proven biosecurity techniques. These techniques provide ways and means to help protect our food supplies from any acts of bioterrorism. At the same time, the state can work to improve food security by creating a program to quickly alert the public when threats to our food supplies are discovered. (This alert system would supplement existing efforts in this regard.) In addition, our state laws should help support "buy-fresh, buy-local" food marketing efforts as one viable food security solution.
