France's Ministry is allocating two million euros to bolster biosecurity measures in livestock farming against African swine fever (ASF). The initiative, starting from January 2025, will primarily target small farms that have not yet conducted biosecurity audits.

This move is crucial for maintaining France's ASF-free status, given the disease's presence in numerous other countries.
