Background
In late 2020, the CSIRO report, Australia’s Biosecurity Future delivered a timely reminder that biosecurity matters now more than ever before. Released in the midst of the worst pandemic seen in over 100 years, the report highlighted the growing burden to Australia’s biosecurity system from new and existing threats to human, plant, animal and environmental health.
The title of the first webinar in this series ‘A weakness in one is a vulnerability for all’ is a line taken directly from the report and reinforces the value of environmental biosecurity to a strong biosecurity system. Whether it be plant, animal, human, or environmental biosecurity, everything is connected. An incursion in one part of the system will have flow-on effects to our health, amenity, culture and economy. The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s purpose, objectives and priorities statement released last year reflects the significance of these relationships, connecting biosecurity with protecting our way of life.
In comparison to the exotic pests of production plants and animals, our understanding of threats to our environment are still limited. The release of the National Priority List of Exotic Environmental Pests, Weeds and Diseases (EEPL) will deliver on these objectives and will help strengthen our knowledge of exotic pests, weeds and diseases that pose the highest risk to our environment, public spaces, heritage and way of life. The list will be used to enable and prioritise activities that help prevent their entry, establishment and spread.
In this series we will discover
- Why a well-connected and collaborative biosecurity system is crucial to success.
- How and why the the EEPL was developed and how it will help identify and manage the risk of exotic pests, weeds and diseases entering or establishing in Australia.
- What are pathways? What’s a hitchhiker? And, how do we know where to look?
- Which environmental pests, weeds and diseases are of most concern and what could they affect?
- More about some of the species identified in the EEPL as ‘most unwanted’.
Following the last webinar in October, we are planning to hold a National Environmental Biosecurity Forum in early November 2021. Expressions of interest will be collected via the Eventbrite registration process and RSVPs will be collected at a later date.
It is important to note that the EEPL is focused on exotic (not established) pests, weeds and diseases that affect Australia's environment and amenity. It complements existing pest lists and strategies in biosecurity. Other exotic pest lists include: the
top 42 National Priority Plant Pests, the
Australian Priority Marine Pest List and the
National list of notifiable animal diseases.
For established pests there is the
Australian Pest Animal Strategy, the
Australian Weeds Strategy and the
Weeds of National Significance.

The program
The PSNAP Surveillance Residential Program was established in 2020 to enhance the national capability and capacity to detect plant pests by developing the skills of individuals working in plant health surveillance. The intent is to allow individuals to spend time in another workplace or location, or by participating in relevant activities that allow them to gain new skills and knowledge that can be brought back to their own workplace. Host organisations also benefit through the sharing of knowledge, skills and experience of the visitor. Overall this program leads to greater collaboration and builds existing networks.
Full details are available in the
Guidelines for the PSNAP Surveillance Residential Program 2021 (Round 3).
Applications
All applications will be considered. Applicants should focus their project on building capability or capacity to detect a
National Priority Plant Pest, a plant disease or pathogen on the
Priority list of exotic environmental pests and diseases, a
High Priority Pest of plant industries or an emerging plant pest.
Applicants are encouraged to consider applications for intrastate residentials in their own jurisdictions as well as interstate residentials.
The
application form is available here. The guideline document noted above, and
host commitment document should be used when completing the application.
Applications are to be submitted to
PSNAP@phau.com.au by
COB Tuesday 30th November 2021.
COVID-19 Considerations
While it is intended that successful applicants undertake their projects over the next 6 months, we understand that these are unique times and will work with successful applicants to find a time they can travel. If travel is not possible, please include a back-up plan to meet your project aim and objective, possibly with alternative outputs to be considered.
Further information
Not sure on what all this means? An
example application is available for you to view here. This project is just one style of project that could be undertaken. All applications will be considered.
Contact the PSNAP Coordinator at
PSNAP@phau.com.au, if you have any general questions, would like further information or to discuss project ideas."

For the AES, this conference will be the 52nd Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference.
The conference will be held at The University of Adelaide’s North Terrace Campus, Sunday 5th to Wednesday 8th December, 2021. This year, the conference theme is Insects make the world go round. We hope that a significant proportion of the symposia and associated presentations will help to advance our understanding of the significance of insects for Australia’s biota, as well as the importance of insect conservation."

string(691) "The Crawford Fund’s annual conference is a highlight of Australia’s agricultural development and food security calendar. For almost 30 years they have drawn significant focus to issues worthy of global and Australian attention.
Making last year’s conference not possible, and overarching this year’s event, is the coronavirus pandemic. However, even outside of such extreme circumstances, the vast increase in and growing complexity of international trade, travel, tourism and density of development have placed ever growing challenges on maintaining plant and animal biosecurity, halting the rapid spread of infectious diseases and strengthening the protection of biodiversity.

string(3756) "The hybrid conference will explore the specific risks to plant, animal, and human health, how these factors are putting global food and nutrition security in peril, and the emerging technological and management solutions to overcome these threats.
In keeping with COVID-restrictions, international speakers will be streamed live for their presentations and Q&A. All Australian speakers will be present, and the Crawford Fund expect to again produce an opportunity for those from development, research, academia, the private sector, primary production, NGO and advocacy groups, and from decision and policy-making to come together at what is the most significant networking event in agriculture for development. The Crawford Fund will also be offering the opportunity for those not able to attend in person to attend virtually, and hope this will make it possible for a broader international audience to benefit from discussion.
With the conference being followed by the UN Food Systems Summit, the UN Climate Change Conference and the Nutrition for Growth Summit, the emphasis will be on food systems, but the Crawford Fund also see as important the way in which food production systems interact with human health in terms of zoonotic diseases and their spread. The Crawford Fund also see a focus on biodiversity as important in that natural systems may provide a reservoir of information and resources that can be used to develop solutions for future proofing society against emerging risks.
At the specially designed conference networking dinner on 13 December, the Crawford Fund are proud to have this year’s Sir John Crawford Memorial address presented by Dr Agnes Kalibata, UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit and President of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.
On 14 December, our full-day event will be held in the Great Hall in Parliament House, Canberra.
The event brings together leading international and Australian thinkers and practitioners for an interactive day that will include:
- Keynote presentations from eminent international, public and private sector experts.
- Targeted overview presentations on the status quo and innovative policy and development project options that address a set of significant nexus issues, highlighting where action is needed or underway around biosecurity, health and trade.
- A set of examples of impact delivered as case studies in short, rapid-fire presentations by leading researchers across industries, global regions and agricultural sectors.
By providing extended question and answer sessions and opportunities for informal networking, the Fund’s annual conference will allow participants to contribute and to place these nexus issues into a context relevant to their lives and work.
The conference audience included views from science, agriculture, politics, business and civil society to help focus our attention on the way forward.
The Crawford Fund look forward to seeing you at our 2021 conference and hope that the focus on these significant issues improves understanding and appreciation on future directions to ensure food and nutrition security in an increasingly inter-connected world.
This year, with COVID related international travel restrictions, we have some keynote and overview speakers presenting live and virtually, and all our Australian speakers present in the room.
The Crawford Fund 2021 Annual Conference will follow the requirements of local, State and Federal COVID-19 policies.

The series of seven monthly webinars and discussions will focus on the recently released National Priority List of Exotic Environmental Pests, Weeds and Diseases (EEPL) and explore the list’s purpose, its development and how it will help manage risks to Australia’s biosecurity. Each webinar will welcome three guest speakers presenting in the first hour, followed by 30 minutes of facilitated discussion.
- Biosecurity. A weakness in one is a vulnerability to all . 15 April 2:00-3:30pm(AEST)
- Connecting the EEPL to the People – All about the National Priority List of Exotic Environmental Pests, Weeds and Diseases. 13 May 2:00-3:30pm(AEST)
- Where there’s a path, there's a way. An overview of pest entry pathways . 3 June 2:00-3:30pm(AEST)
- Pests & ecosystems - exploring risks to forests and parklands. 15 July 2:00-3:30pm(AEST)
- Pests & ecosystems - exploring risks to marine and freshwater environments . 5 August 2:00-3:30pm(AEST)
- Pests & ecosystems - exploring risks to wildlife in their environments. 2 September 2:00-3:30pm(AEST)
- Opening the toolbox. Tools and technology for detection, control and eradication. 7 October 2:00-3:30pm(AEDT)

Background
In late 2020, the CSIRO report, Australia’s Biosecurity Future delivered a timely reminder that biosecurity matters now more than ever before. Released in the midst of the worst pandemic seen in over 100 years, the report highlighted the growing burden to Australia’s biosecurity system from new and existing threats to human, plant, animal and environmental health.
The title of the first webinar in this series ‘A weakness in one is a vulnerability for all’ is a line taken directly from the report and reinforces the value of environmental biosecurity to a strong biosecurity system. Whether it be plant, animal, human, or environmental biosecurity, everything is connected. An incursion in one part of the system will have flow-on effects to our health, amenity, culture and economy. The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s purpose, objectives and priorities statement released last year reflects the significance of these relationships, connecting biosecurity with protecting our way of life.
In comparison to the exotic pests of production plants and animals, our understanding of threats to our environment are still limited. The release of the National Priority List of Exotic Environmental Pests, Weeds and Diseases (EEPL) will deliver on these objectives and will help strengthen our knowledge of exotic pests, weeds and diseases that pose the highest risk to our environment, public spaces, heritage and way of life. The list will be used to enable and prioritise activities that help prevent their entry, establishment and spread.
In this series we will discover
- Why a well-connected and collaborative biosecurity system is crucial to success.
- How and why the the EEPL was developed and how it will help identify and manage the risk of exotic pests, weeds and diseases entering or establishing in Australia.
- What are pathways? What’s a hitchhiker? And, how do we know where to look?
- Which environmental pests, weeds and diseases are of most concern and what could they affect?
- More about some of the species identified in the EEPL as ‘most unwanted’.
Following the last webinar in October, we are planning to hold a National Environmental Biosecurity Forum in early November 2021. Expressions of interest will be collected via the Eventbrite registration process and RSVPs will be collected at a later date.
It is important to note that the EEPL is focused on exotic (not established) pests, weeds and diseases that affect Australia's environment and amenity. It complements existing pest lists and strategies in biosecurity. Other exotic pest lists include: the
top 42 National Priority Plant Pests, the
Australian Priority Marine Pest List and the
National list of notifiable animal diseases.
For established pests there is the
Australian Pest Animal Strategy, the
Australian Weeds Strategy and the
Weeds of National Significance.

Background
In late 2020, the CSIRO report, Australia’s Biosecurity Future delivered a timely reminder that biosecurity matters now more than ever before. Released in the midst of the worst pandemic seen in over 100 years, the report highlighted the growing burden to Australia’s biosecurity system from new and existing threats to human, plant, animal and environmental health.
The title of the first webinar in this series ‘A weakness in one is a vulnerability for all’ is a line taken directly from the report and reinforces the value of environmental biosecurity to a strong biosecurity system. Whether it be plant, animal, human, or environmental biosecurity, everything is connected. An incursion in one part of the system will have flow-on effects to our health, amenity, culture and economy. The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s purpose, objectives and priorities statement released last year reflects the significance of these relationships, connecting biosecurity with protecting our way of life.
In comparison to the exotic pests of production plants and animals, our understanding of threats to our environment are still limited. The release of the National Priority List of Exotic Environmental Pests, Weeds and Diseases (EEPL) will deliver on these objectives and will help strengthen our knowledge of exotic pests, weeds and diseases that pose the highest risk to our environment, public spaces, heritage and way of life. The list will be used to enable and prioritise activities that help prevent their entry, establishment and spread.
In this series we will discover
- Why a well-connected and collaborative biosecurity system is crucial to success.
- How and why the the EEPL was developed and how it will help identify and manage the risk of exotic pests, weeds and diseases entering or establishing in Australia.
- What are pathways? What’s a hitchhiker? And, how do we know where to look?
- Which environmental pests, weeds and diseases are of most concern and what could they affect?
- More about some of the species identified in the EEPL as ‘most unwanted’.
Following the last webinar in October, we are planning to hold a National Environmental Biosecurity Forum in early November 2021. Expressions of interest will be collected via the Eventbrite registration process and RSVPs will be collected at a later date.
It is important to note that the EEPL is focused on exotic (not established) pests, weeds and diseases that affect Australia's environment and amenity. It complements existing pest lists and strategies in biosecurity. Other exotic pest lists include: the
top 42 National Priority Plant Pests, the
Australian Priority Marine Pest List and the
National list of notifiable animal diseases.
For established pests there is the
Australian Pest Animal Strategy, the
Australian Weeds Strategy and the
Weeds of National Significance.

The program
The PSNAP Surveillance Residential Program was established in 2020 to enhance the national capability and capacity to detect plant pests by developing the skills of individuals working in plant health surveillance. The intent is to allow individuals to spend time in another workplace or location, or by participating in relevant activities that allow them to gain new skills and knowledge that can be brought back to their own workplace. Host organisations also benefit through the sharing of knowledge, skills and experience of the visitor. Overall this program leads to greater collaboration and builds existing networks.
Full details are available in the
Guidelines for the PSNAP Surveillance Residential Program 2021 (Round 3).
Applications
All applications will be considered. Applicants should focus their project on building capability or capacity to detect a
National Priority Plant Pest, a plant disease or pathogen on the
Priority list of exotic environmental pests and diseases, a
High Priority Pest of plant industries or an emerging plant pest.
Applicants are encouraged to consider applications for intrastate residentials in their own jurisdictions as well as interstate residentials.
The
application form is available here. The guideline document noted above, and
host commitment document should be used when completing the application.
Applications are to be submitted to
PSNAP@phau.com.au by
COB Tuesday 30th November 2021.
COVID-19 Considerations
While it is intended that successful applicants undertake their projects over the next 6 months, we understand that these are unique times and will work with successful applicants to find a time they can travel. If travel is not possible, please include a back-up plan to meet your project aim and objective, possibly with alternative outputs to be considered.
Further information
Not sure on what all this means? An
example application is available for you to view here. This project is just one style of project that could be undertaken. All applications will be considered.
Contact the PSNAP Coordinator at
PSNAP@phau.com.au, if you have any general questions, would like further information or to discuss project ideas."

Making last year’s conference not possible, and overarching this year’s event, is the coronavirus pandemic. However, even outside of such extreme circumstances, the vast increase in and growing complexity of international trade, travel, tourism and density of development have placed ever growing challenges on maintaining plant and animal biosecurity, halting the rapid spread of infectious diseases and strengthening the protection of biodiversity.

string(3756) "The hybrid conference will explore the specific risks to plant, animal, and human health, how these factors are putting global food and nutrition security in peril, and the emerging technological and management solutions to overcome these threats.
In keeping with COVID-restrictions, international speakers will be streamed live for their presentations and Q&A. All Australian speakers will be present, and the Crawford Fund expect to again produce an opportunity for those from development, research, academia, the private sector, primary production, NGO and advocacy groups, and from decision and policy-making to come together at what is the most significant networking event in agriculture for development. The Crawford Fund will also be offering the opportunity for those not able to attend in person to attend virtually, and hope this will make it possible for a broader international audience to benefit from discussion.
With the conference being followed by the UN Food Systems Summit, the UN Climate Change Conference and the Nutrition for Growth Summit, the emphasis will be on food systems, but the Crawford Fund also see as important the way in which food production systems interact with human health in terms of zoonotic diseases and their spread. The Crawford Fund also see a focus on biodiversity as important in that natural systems may provide a reservoir of information and resources that can be used to develop solutions for future proofing society against emerging risks.
At the specially designed conference networking dinner on 13 December, the Crawford Fund are proud to have this year’s Sir John Crawford Memorial address presented by Dr Agnes Kalibata, UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit and President of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.
On 14 December, our full-day event will be held in the Great Hall in Parliament House, Canberra.
The event brings together leading international and Australian thinkers and practitioners for an interactive day that will include:
- Keynote presentations from eminent international, public and private sector experts.
- Targeted overview presentations on the status quo and innovative policy and development project options that address a set of significant nexus issues, highlighting where action is needed or underway around biosecurity, health and trade.
- A set of examples of impact delivered as case studies in short, rapid-fire presentations by leading researchers across industries, global regions and agricultural sectors.
By providing extended question and answer sessions and opportunities for informal networking, the Fund’s annual conference will allow participants to contribute and to place these nexus issues into a context relevant to their lives and work.
The conference audience included views from science, agriculture, politics, business and civil society to help focus our attention on the way forward.
The Crawford Fund look forward to seeing you at our 2021 conference and hope that the focus on these significant issues improves understanding and appreciation on future directions to ensure food and nutrition security in an increasingly inter-connected world.
This year, with COVID related international travel restrictions, we have some keynote and overview speakers presenting live and virtually, and all our Australian speakers present in the room.
The Crawford Fund 2021 Annual Conference will follow the requirements of local, State and Federal COVID-19 policies.
