Information Sources • Comprehensive summaries of information • CABI Crop Protection Compendium • Quarantine Pests for Europe • All information from single source= impossible due to: • Rapid changes in events • Country specific information required • Some data are incomplete or vary, e.g. trade pathways • Inevitable uncertainties, e.g. climate change, markets, future crop production practices

  12. Uncertainty • In exercise book – identify uncertainties • Where information is missing may need to make assumptions • With assumptions come uncertainty • Think how risk may change with less uncertainty
