LEAF: Biosecurity- Controlling Dangerous Germs Lurking on the Farm

LEAF: Biosecurity - Controlling Dangerous Germs Lurking on the Farm
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
It's inevitable: microbes like viruses and bacteria are everywhere! Luckily, most are harmless or helpful, but there are some diseases, such as the recent Avian Influenza outbreak, that we need to take steps to minimize on our farms for the safety of our food and families. CCE Livestock Specialist Amy Barkley will explain why biosecurity on our local farms is so important, the latest concerns to be aware of, research-based best practices to keep people and animals healthy, and more.

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey
December 19, 2025
Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:
As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
