Together with stakeholders and partners, we develop biosecurity standards and practical guidance for crop and livestock sectors. These measures help protect farms by preventing the introduction and spread of diseases and pests.
Crop biosecurity includes practices that help prevent plant pests from entering farms and limit their spread. This assists in protecting crops and supports a strong and profitable agricultural sector in Canada.
Also available are the National farm-level biosecurity standards and producer guidance documents for animal biosecurity.
