When food becomes a weapon, no one is safe. In a world where pandemics, cyberattacks, and geopolitical tension dominate the headlines, a quieter but equally terrifying threat looms beneath the surface-agroterrorism. From poisoned irrigation systems to gene-edited pathogens, the deliberate targeting of agriculture is no longer the stuff of fiction. It is a modern battlefield without borders, where farms, livestock, and food supply chains are vulnerable to silent sabotage. Agroterror: Weaponizing the Food Chain pulls back the curtain on this hidden war. With chilling case studies, insider perspectives, and cutting-edge research, this groundbreaking work explores: The deadly intersection of biology, technology, and ideologyState-sponsored agroterrorism and Cold War sabotage operationsCyber vulnerabilities in "smart" farms and digital supply chainsInsider threats from disgruntled workers to corporate espionageWhat governments, farmers, and citizens can do to protect our food futureFrom the 1984 Rajneeshee Salmonella attack in Oregon to modern fears of CRISPR-based crop warfare, this book investigates the past, exposes the present, and prepares readers for the uncertain road ahead. If you care about food security, national resilience, or the invisible infrastructure that feeds billions-this book is your wake-up call. Wayne J. Gombar is a seasoned researcher, homeland security professional, and author with a deep background in emergency management, critical infrastructure protection, and national security policy. With decades of experience spanning federal consulting, intelligence-informed threat assessment, and strategic planning, Gombar brings a multidisciplinary lens to the complex world of agroterrorism. His work explores the intersection of biological risk, food security, and technological vulnerability, areas too often overlooked in mainstream discourse. Known for blending rigorous research with accessible storytelling, Gombar's writing has illuminated the silent battles fought beneath our feet and across our farms. When not writing, he works at the intersection of policy, preparedness, and public safety, helping government agencies and private sector partners fortify what matters most.
