Agroterrorism

Offenses Against Public Safety and State Security

Agroterrorism, also called agriterrorism or agricultural terrorism, is the malicious attempt to disrupt or destroy the agricultural industry or food supply of a population, typically through the deliberate use of plant or animal pathogens to cause devastating disease in the agricultural sector. It is closely related to biological, chemical and entomological warfare, but is carried out by non-state actors rather than states.
