Agro-terrorism

Agroterrorism, which can also be referred to as agriterrorism or agricultural terrorism, involves deliberate actions aimed at undermining or damaging the agricultural sector and food supply chain of a community. This is achieved through the harmful application of plant or animal pathogens that can lead to severe diseases affecting agriculture.

This form of aggression is akin to biological warfare, chemical warfare, and entomological warfare, but is typically executed by non-state actors. Essentially, it constitutes a hostile assault on agricultural systems, including their infrastructure and operations, with the intent to inflict substantial harm to national or international political interests.
