Biosecurity

Biosecurity is the backbone of Australia’s farming sector, playing a vital role in protecting our agricultural industries, environment, and economy. Australia has a well deserved reputation for producing clean, green, and safe food, because of strong biosecurity measures that keep pests, diseases, and weeds at bay.Strong biosecurity also protects our access to valuable international markets. Many countries choose Australian produce because of our high safety and quality standards. An outbreak could halt exports and take years to recover from. That’s why biosecurity isn’t just a government responsibility—it’s a shared commitment across the entire supply chain.
