Overview
- For the first time, the book provides multi-disciplinary evidence bases for practical management of biosecurity in complex cases.
- Not an isolated set of ‘reported research’, but strategically designed to fit together so as to provide a the end-point of a practical planning tool, which is a strategy for management of biosecurity.
- Each case reports a particular angle and dimension of developing sound planning processes, from policy to grassroots, in ways that shed light on the details and issues involved in each case.

About this book
Managing biosecurity is everybody’s business. The book’s multi-site, multi-sectoral research contributes to an holistic, evidence-based strategy for managing plant biosecurity in complex contexts. The intent is to provide a starting point for all stakeholders in the biosecurity endeavor – policy personnel at all levels of governance, planners and regional developers, non-government organizations, community groups and individuals – to plan localized strategies that ‘fit’ national needs and constraints and the way people live their lives. In putting forward a ‘strategy’, we draw on many disciplines and cultural perspectives on a problem that is fundamentally a multidisciplinary and global issue. At the same time, the contributing researchers remain aware that such a strategy is always subject to local contextual factors and influences, indigenous and local knowledge and culture, and is regarded as a tool for planning, always subject to change.
