biosecurity
Biosecurity encompasses the policies, protocols, and surveillance systems designed to prevent the introduction and spread of pests, pathogens, and invasive organisms across borders and ecosystems. In plant science, it underpins efforts to protect crops and natural flora from devastating disease outbreaks and invasive species that can disrupt agricultural yields and biodiversity. Research in this area informs early detection methods, quarantine strategies, and risk assessment models that safeguard both cultivated and wild plant populations.
