Abstract
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this year has further highlighted the vulnerability of global food security to geopolitical disruption of supply chains. As members of the Biosecurity Research Initiative at St Catharine’s (BioRISC) at the University of Cambridge, UK, we argue that necessary transport route changes must be accompanied by effective biosecurity measures against invasive species and pathogens.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
