Publication date: June 18, 2020
Delivery Partner: Plant Health Australia
This five-year investment was responsible for developing the mushroom industry’s biosecurity plan. The plan was a top-level document that identified high-priority endemic and exotic pests and diseases, along with the risk mitigation activities required to reduce their biosecurity threat. It also identified surveillance and diagnostic activities. It provided a strategic framework for industry and government to work together to improve preparedness for and response to these potential threats.
