Systems Strategies
The goal of the Systems Strategies theme is to establish innovative prevention, response, and recovery strategies to minimize both the probability of a terrorist attack on the food system, and the resulting health and economic consequences. Systems Strategies continues to develop approaches to prioritize interventions and countermeasures based on their economic utility, including complementary benefits beyond food defense.
