Abstract

CARVER+Shock (Agriculture) software is developed by Sandia National Laboratory, USA with the association of USFDA and USDA-APHIS as a food defense tool for farms. In the wake of recent findings on food and agriculture defense studies, it is very useful software to prepare the farm managers to protect against any act and attack of bioterrorism. The software was tested on the north Indian farms and reports are alarming. Authors advise fast and firm actions to be taken to implement the mitigations advised by this hazard analysis process.
