This book presents a scientific and policy-oriented exploration of agroterrorism-the deliberate targeting of agricultural systems using biological, chemical, or technological means. Drawing from real-world incidents, institutional records, and national security frameworks, it analyzes threat vectors, vulnerability assessments, and their cascading impacts on food systems, rural livelihoods, and public health. The book offers a multi-sectoral roadmap to strengthen biosecurity, build early-warning systems, and integrate agro-threat response into national resilience planning. With detailed chapters on pathogens, cyber-agriculture threats, and legal gaps, this work is a critical resource for researchers, policymakers, and defense planners confronting 21st-century agricultural warfare.
