Working to protect Queensland sugarcane farms from pests and diseases
Australia’s biosecurity system is fundamental to the success of agriculture. CANEGROWERS advocates at local, state, and federal levels, for an innovative, adequately resourced and efficient system that:
minimises the risk of incursion by new pests or diseases,
ensures any incursion is detected quickly, and
has plans and agreements in place to ensure collective responses to an incursion is rapid and effective.
CANEGROWERS also recognises that biosecurity is a shared priority for governments, industry, and the broader community, and that our industry must have a proactive approach to identifying the priority biosecurity threats and having strategies in place to inform eradication or containment of any incursions.
