LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center
(KIPRC), part of the University of Kentucky College of Public Health,
has collaborated with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) and
the UK College of Agriculture to create a computer-based courses on
agroterrorism awareness.  The course illustrate the potential for
terrorist attacks on crops, livestock, and the U.S. food supply.  

            According to Mark Schneider, KIPRC Director of Technology
and program manager for Terrorism Response and Preparedness (TRAP),
"Agroterrorism has already occurred in the U.S. and, since 9/11, seems
more likely to occur again."

            The agroterrorism course is available on CD-ROM to provide
extra bandwidth for interactive features.  Students will learn from
videos, animation, and interactive exercises.  Quizzes and course
examinations test students' comprehension of the topics.  Certification
allows graduates to demonstrate their proficiency.

            The course includes five modules: Introduction to
Agroterrorism; Natural and Intentional Events; Crops; Livestock; and
Prevention and Preparedness.
