## Description
Biosurveillance is becoming increasingly important to support food safety, public health, animal 
and plant health. As the volume, complexity and variety of surveillance data continue to 
increase, government organisations are exploring new tools, technologies and approaches to 
improve the collection, analysis, interpretation and sharing of information. These developments 
include the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), horizon-scanning tools, data integration platforms, 
analytical workflows, collaboration technologies and other digital approaches that can enhance 
the speed and effectiveness of surveillance activities. 
This project will examine how government and related organisations are using tools, 
technologies and approaches, including AI, to support biosurveillance activities, with a particular 
focus on generating insight and intelligence from surveillance data to support food safety. The 
project will identify successful implementations, common challenges and opportunities for 
collaboration, while establishing a cross-government working group to support knowledge 
exchange and community building. The project should adopt a One Health perspective, 
recognising the links between food safety, human health, animal health, plant health and 
environmental surveillance.  
The outputs will provide an evidence base to support future decision-making, reduce duplication 
of effort, strengthen cross-government networks and help maximise the value of existing and 
future investments in biosurveillance capabilities
