June
4-6: Animal Agrosecurity Conference
The North Dakota State University Extension Service is
hosting an international animal
agrosecurity conference June 4-6 in Fargo. The
“Beyond Borders: Regional Animal Agrosecurity” conference
will focus on two questions:
* What would happen if an animal agrosecurity incident
involved the U.S.-Canadian
border?
* What role do those in the agricultural, food and health
industries, as well as emergency
services and law enforcement, have in animal agrosecurity?
“Emergencies and disasters are always local,” says
Charlie Stoltenow, NDSU Extension
veterinarian. “They will require local action, resources
and resolve to deal with an animal
agrosecurity incident involving the U.S.-Canadian border.
This conference is just the first
step in bringing international, national, state and local
individuals together to identify the
resources on both sides of the border that will be needed to
prevent and, if needed,
resolve an animal agrosecurity incident.”
Other conference topics will include developing county-based
animal agrosecurity plans.
The conference also will consist of several programs to
educate participants on animal
agrosecurity issues.
The conference is designed for U.S. and Canadian teams that
include producers,
veterinarians, Extension/outreach staff, regulatory
veterinary medicine personnel, animal
health board members, agriculture department and homeland
defense representatives,
emergency managers, public health officials, state animal
response team and veterinary
reserve corps members, law enforcement officers, livestock
association members,
veterinary practitioners and commodity group members.
Speakers will include U.S. and Canadian veterinary officers;
producers; commodity and
industry representatives; technical experts; university and
Extension faculty; and federal,
state and provincial officials.
Participants are expected from North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota, Montana, Iowa,
Alaska and Wisconsin, as well as the Canadian provinces of
Ontario, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Cooperative State
Research, Education, and
Extension Service is underwriting the conference through the
Extension Disaster
Education Network (EDEN).
For more information or to register, go to the EDEN Web site
at
electronic registration will be open from April 1 to May 15.
The conference will be
limited to 250 registrants.
