Secure Food Supply
Overview
The Secure Food Supply (SFS) plans are designed to promote continuity of business in a foreign animal disease (FAD) outbreak through the implementation of enhanced biosecurity plans. The SFS plans provide an opportunity to voluntarily prepare before a FAD outbreak occurs. The effects of an outbreak on the Kansas economy will likely be detrimental. SFS plans aid in preventing a disease from entering the designated premises and provide eligibility for receiving a permit for moving animals and animal related products upon approval of the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
Goals
- Avoid interruptions in animal/animal product movement to commercial processing from farms with no evidence of infection during a FAD outbreak.
- Provide a continuous supply of safe and wholesome food to customers.
- Maintain business continuity for producers, transporters, and food processors through response planning.
