Agriculture and Food Vulnerability
Assessment Training: “How Safe Is The Food On Our Table?”
What would happen if one of our
major food suppliers were to be attacked by terrorists? In our upcoming program,
we’ll take a fascinating look into the Agricultural Industry and how it could
potentially be affected by terrorism. We’ll go inside the classroom to a unique
course offering expert training in this area – as offered by the Center For
Agriculture & Food Security & Preparedness at the University of Tennessee College of
Veterinary Medicine. It’s a look at potential problems and solutions – along
with proven measures to better protect our food industry, and more
importantly ourselves. This program and course will increase your awareness of these
issues and provide applications to implement within your own facility.
What will you learn?
Here are some of the key learning objectives for this program
* What are the essential criteria for
assessing potential food safety vulnerabilities?
* How can we identify and implement systems that will
reduce these vulnerabilities?
* How practical exercises identify threats to animal and
food processing facilities.
* How software assessment tools can be used to evaluate
potential vulnerabilities. 2. TARGET AUDIENCES: The
