Advocacy in Action | Biosecurity

Few words carry as much weight for Queensland horticulture as biosecurity. The stakes are clear: one unchecked pest or disease could shut down a $3 billion sector overnight. Growers already invest heavily in on-farm biosecurity, acting as both the first and last line of defence. But they cannot, and should not, shoulder this responsibility alone. QFVG has been vocal in pressing governments to match growers’ commitment with a system that is better resourced, more coordinated, and genuinely effective.
