SUMMARY:NISAW Webinar: Invasive Species Threaten American Food Security
DESCRIPTION:Invasive species pose a growing and often underrecognized threat to American food security\, public health\, and economic stability. This webinar will present key findings from a white paper developed by the Invasive Species Advisory Committee (ISAC)\, which outlines how invasive animals\, plants\, and pathogens directly threaten the food security\, prosperity\, health\, and safety of the American people. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will examine how invasive species damage and disrupt farmland\, livestock\, crops\, fisheries\, aquaculture\, and hunting\, fishing\, and subsistence food systems. These impacts ripple outward\, affecting jobs\, rural economies\, and the industries that support farming and ranching communities across U.S. states and territories. \n\n\n\nBy highlighting ISAC’s recommendations to federal partners\, this session will underscore the importance of strategic investment in prevention\, early detection\, and coordinated response. These actions are essential not only for protecting agricultural productivity\, but also for defending community health\, strengthening food systems\, and reducing long term risks associated with invasive species spread. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeghan Brown\, Administrator Plant Health and Compliance\, Nevada Department of AgricultureMeghan moved to Elko\, Nevada after graduating university to work for the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association as their Executive Director.
