As part of ongoing efforts to strengthen preparedness and response capabilities for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and similar transboundary animal diseases (TADs) across Europe, the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD) is organizing a series of webinars focused on enhancing on-farm biosecurity.

By understanding the diverse contexts in which biosecurity measures are implemented, participants will explore how to design adaptive, effective, and context-specific approaches to disease prevention and control. The webinar will explore key aspects of biosecurity for FMD and similar TADs, focusing on disease transmission pathways, risk-based mitigation strategies, and practical field experiences. It will also address stakeholder perceptions, investment challenges, and effective approaches to promote compliance and long-term behavioral change.

The key objectives of this webinar are to:

• Analyze efficiency of FMD and similar TADs transmission pathways. Identifying and analyzing risk levels and tailoring biosecurity interventions for optimized mitigation efforts.
• Highlight the cost-benefit of biosecurity investments. Leveraging evidence to drive both behavioral and financial commitment to biosecurity measures.
• Crafting effective and culturally sensitive messages for local communities. Identifying key resources and tools to amplify awareness and communication efforts.

Please register in advance here if you wish to participate as spots may be limited.
