Abstract

Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) is a science-based process for determining the likelihood and magnitude of pest risks and evaluating options for mitigating them. Pest Risk Analysis is used by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to support phytosanitary decision-making. The design of a PRA process reflects an NPPO’s policy on risk, whereas the content or data that informs the PRA process is a reflection of its use of science. A well-designed and implemented PRA process can serve as a bridge between science and policy and inform decision-making. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has undertaken steps to integrate its pest risk assessment and pest risk management processes in ways that improve efficiency and transparency while continuing to preserve the scientific integrity of the science advice under-pinning the design of its plant protection programs.
