Until now little attention has been paid to the development of
military capabilities designed to target food crops with biological
warfare agents. This book represents the first substantive study of
state-run activities in this field. It shows that all biological
warfare programmes have included a component concerned with the
development of anti-crop biological warfare agents and munitions.
Current concern over the proliferation of biological weapons is
placed in the context of the initiative to strengthen the
Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. The book concludes by
arguing that the risks posed by this form of warfare can be
minimised, but that this would depend largely on the effective and
efficient implementation of regimes concerning the peaceful use and
control of plant pathogens that pose a risk to human health and the
environment.
