In the last Bulletin we mentioned the KVH/Zespri Kiwifruit Biosecurity Industry Day held during Biosecurity Week – if you weren’t able to make the day, or want to re-visit any of the talks, you can now watch videos of all presentations on the KVH YouTube channel here.

The day provided the opportunity for everyone to learn more about work underway to protect the industry from unwanted pests and diseases. Key research findings, and practical examples of research the industry has been taking part in were discussed in detail – as were biosecurity responses at a national level by John Walsh from Biosecurity New Zealand, who spoke about the different parts of the New Zealand biosecurity system and explained how they all fit together to ensure there are numerous intervention points that either stop biosecurity risk getting here, or capture and manage the risk that does make it to our shores and past our borders.
