Crop biosecurity

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) works with stakeholders to develop national farm-level biosecurity standards and producer guidance documents for several crop and animal-based sectors. These standards provide a proactive approach to minimize the introduction and spread of diseases and pests.

The development process is supported by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in partnership with CFIA under the Growing Forward Agricultural Policy Framework.

Crop biosecurity prevents, minimizes and controls the introduction and spread of plant pests at the farm level. Pest problems can severely reduce the sustainability and profitability of the Canadian agricultural sector.

National farm-level biosecurity standards and producer guidance documents for animal biosecurity are also available.
