It subsequently turns to address challenges have been encountered in efforts to promote biosecurity education and engagement internationally. In the third section, a number of reasons as to why biosecurity-related education is nonetheless important are addressed before the chapter concludes with a look at how biosecurity related engagement and education can be enhanced in the future drawing on experiences and parallel activities in the nuclear and chemical sector and looking at avenues for achieving institutional change.
