Title: Explain the vulnerabilities of the technologies used in livestock production.
Course: Cybersecurity in Food and Agriculture, Advanced (18204-II) > Section: Researching Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in Livestock and Crop Production

Explanation should include vulnerabilities connected to

- technology used to decrease production costs and increase outputs
- technology used to improve input efficiency and collect output data to facilitate future production decisions
- technology used to maximize crop yield and reduce labor costs and time
- data collected at the animal level to recognize sick animals, increase feed efficiency, and save on labor, feed costs, and time
  - automated milking systems
  - electronic feeding
  - health monitoring
    - mechanisms for early detection of health incidents
    - biosurveillance
- infrastructure.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are some vulnerabilities associated with electronic health monitoring systems?
- How can technology improve input efficiency and output efficiency?
- How can technology maximize crop yields and reduce labor costs and time?
- What is biosurveillance, and why is it important to the safety of the U.S. population?
