Protecting America’s Food and Agriculture Sector
The Food and Agriculture Sector plays a vital role in the nation’s economy and public health, encompassing over 2.1 million farms, 935,000 restaurants, and more than 200,000 registered food manufacturing, processing, and storage facilities. Largely privately owned, this sector contributes to nearly one-fifth of the U.S. economy and requires robust protection to ensure safety, continuity, and resilience.

From large-scale agricultural operations to food processing plants, storage facilities, and distribution centers, our team is trusted to safeguard critical assets, prevent disruptions, and support regulatory compliance.

-
Water and Wastewater Systems – for clean irrigation and food-safe processing
-
Transportation Systems – to move goods and livestock efficiently
-
Energy – to power essential agricultural and production equipment
-
Chemical – for the responsible use of fertilizers and pesticides
