Securing What Feeds Us
The first comprehensive guide to cybersecurity in food and agriculture systems — because protecting our food supply means protecting lives, not just data.
Why This Matters Now
Food systems are under attack in ways we rarely discuss. When cybersecurity fails, the consequences extend far beyond data breaches.
Critical Infrastructure
Food and agriculture are designated critical infrastructure, yet cybersecurity guidance rarely addresses their unique operational realities.
Real-World Impact
Cyber incidents in food systems can spoil inventory, halt production lines, compromise safety protocols, and threaten public health.
Growing Complexity
Smart farms, precision agriculture, automated processing, and connected supply chains create new vulnerabilities at every stage.
For Everyone Who Eats
This book bridges domains and disciplines, written for anyone who needs to understand how cybersecurity protects our food supply.
Cybersecurity Professionals
Understand food systems, OT environments, and regulatory frameworks specific to agriculture and food production.
Food Industry Leaders
Grasp cyber risks in accessible terms, from farm operations to processing plants and distribution networks.
Operations Teams
Practical guidance for securing industrial control systems, third-party vendors, and crisis response.
Students & Researchers
Foundational knowledge across both cybersecurity and food systems for the next generation of professionals.
Policy Makers
Context for regulations, compliance requirements, and the broader implications of food system security.
Concerned Consumers
Understand the invisible systems protecting your food supply and what happens when they fail.
What You'll Discover
From farm to fork, this book explores cybersecurity across every segment of our food systems.
The Full Food Supply Chain
Dedicated coverage of primary agriculture, precision farming, food processing, distribution networks, foodservice operations, seafood and fisheries, beverage production, animal feed systems, and emerging food innovations. Each sector examined through its unique cyber-physical vulnerabilities and operational constraints.
Real Threats, Real Consequences
Industrial control systems in food environments. Legacy OT infrastructure. Third-party vendor risks. Insider threats. Cyber-physical incidents that spoil inventory, halt production, and threaten food safety. Incident response when biological timelines don't wait for IT tickets.
Beyond Technical Controls
How food safety culture intersects with cybersecurity. Navigating FSMA, FDA, USDA, and emerging global regulations. Digital equity for small and mid-size operations. Climate-resilient agriculture and the cyber risks in sustainability tech. Misinformation campaigns targeting food systems.
Interconnected Vulnerabilities
Food systems don't exist in isolation. Understand the dependencies on water, energy, transportation, telecommunications, healthcare, and chemical sectors — and how cyber disruptions cascade across these critical infrastructures.
Practical Resilience
Building cyber-aware teams. Moving from compliance checkbox thinking to genuine resilience. Long-term strategies that work for organizations of all sizes. Crisis communication that protects both operations and public trust. What to actually do when systems fail.
