Food Sustainability, Cyber-Biosecurity, Emerging Technologies, and Cybersecurity Risks in the Agriculture and Food Industries
The United Nations forecasts that by 2050, the world's population will reach 9.8 billion and 11.2 billion in 2100. An ever-growing global population threatens food security, accompanied by an increasing food shortage and relentless cybersecurity attacks. Agriculture 4.0, smart farming, and precision farming are essential to provide the technological breakthroughs to increase agricultural production while simultaneously expanding cybersecurity risks in the agriculture and food industries. With a global cybersecurity talent shortage and increasing cyber-attacks on the agriculture and food industries, there is a dire need to address cybersecurity solutions for the agriculture and food industries. A developing area in agriculture is cyberbiosecurity, an integrated concept of biosecurity and cybersecurity underline the need to safeguard systems, humans, animals, and plants from biological mischiefs, such as bioterrorism, environmental terrorism, infections, plagues, and pandemics. This paper explores these complex dynamics through an exploration of current and emerging literature.

Extinction : a novel
Erebus Resort, occupying a magnificent, hundred-thousandacre valley deep in the Colorado Rockies, offers guests the experience of viewing woolly mammoths, Irish Elk, and giant ground sloths in their native habitat, brought back from extinction through the magic of genetic manipulation. When a billionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered in the Erebus back country by what is assumed to be a gang of eco-terrorists, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash partners with county sheriff James Colcord to track down the perpetrators. As killings mount and the valley is evacuated, Cash and Colcord must confront an ancient, intelligent, and malevolent presence at Erebus, bent not on resurrection but on extinction.

If a tree falls : a story of the Earth Liberation Front
On December 7th, 2005, federal agents conducted a nationwide sweep of radical environmentalists involved with the Earth Liberation Front — an organization the FBI has called America’s “number one domestic terrorism threat. IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT is the remarkable story of the group's rise and fall, told through the transformation and radicalization of one of its members, Daniel McGowan. Part coming-of-age tale, part cops-and-robbers thriller, the film interweaves a chronicle of McGowan facing life in prison with a dramatic investigation of the events that led to his involvement with the ELF. Using never-before-seen archival footage and intimate interviews — with cell members and with the prosecutor and detective who were chasing them — IF A TREE FALLS asks hard questions about environmentalism, activism, and the way we define terrorism.

Ecoterrorism and Nontraditional Military Threats
The menace facing U.S. service personnel from ecoterrorism and other nontraditional threats may increase as military deployments in war and peace increase, the availability of devastating biological, chemical, and radioactive agents increases, and adversaries or terrorist groups become more inclined to use them. A vital concern for field medical commanders is the requirement to understand the environmental issues associated with military deployment. More important is the need to recognize potential ecological threats to deployed military troops. The Gulf War was replete with numerous documented acts of ecoterrorism. The current world crisis from terrorism dictates that we be knowledgeable of the medical consequences of weapons of mass destruction and skilled in the management of casualties. The processes of human health risk assessment of deployed soldiers and ecological risk assessment are discussed as strategies to effectively prevent or reduce the health and medical consequences of ecoterrorism.

Some self-proclaimed members of the shadowy Earth Liberation Front (ELF) have been arrested and admitted to starting the fires that destroyed the half-built homes.
