Biological risks are a fundamental concern in agricultural production systems, affecting both the quality and quantity of agricultural outputs. In agricultural supply chains, these risks can significantly disrupt the continuity of production, distribution, and market supply. This paper explores the concept of biological risk management within agricultural supply chains, focusing on key risks such as pests, diseases, and climatic variations. It also investigates strategies for managing these risks effectively, including integrated pest management (IPM), genetic resistance, and advanced forecasting technologies. The study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among farmers, policymakers, and supply chain stakeholders in minimizing the impacts of biological risks and enhancing food security. Furthermore, the role of innovative technologies and sustainable practices in mitigating these risks is discussed, along with the potential future directions in biological risk management.
