Agroterrorism
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 10.16.2001
In the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks and the subsequent U.S. military retaliation, Americans are expressing deep worries about new rounds of terrorist activity. Much of the focus has centered on biological terrorism, especially the release of diseases such as anthrax that are directly fatal to humans. Less talked about, but potentially more devastating to our economy and our way of life is a subset of biological terrorism called agroterrorism, which targets agriculture and our food supply.
