Information Sharing and Analysis Center
A Partnership of Food Industry Associations Coordinated by the Food Marketing Institute
On February 15, 2002, a public/private sector partnership known as the Food and Agriculture Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) was created. It's organization and structure are described here.
The objectives of the Food and Agriculture ISAC include:
- Making the food industry a difficult and undesirable target for terrorist attacks.
- Bringing the industry’s talents together to deal with preventing terrorism and deliberately malicious attacks.
- Providing a rapid means of communicating and disseminating information relevant to these tasks.
- And, in the event of an attack, providing a means for a coordinated industry-wide response to limit the effects and enable the food system to recover as rapidly as possible.
