Summary/Abstract: There is no country, no inhabited territory on the globe that is immune to terrorism. Although the roots of terrorism go back a long way, terrorism is a product of the modern age, and its causes and motives are different. Therefore, the authors identify terrorism as a world problem, because as a manifestation in one environment, it never isolates itself, but spreads very quickly to other areas. In this paper, a new, somewhat intimidating form of terrorism, better known as agroterrorism, is analyzed in detail. This paper aims to explain more precisely this new, modern form of terrorism, to make a clear distinction between the concepts of bioterrorism and agroterrorism, as well as to assess potential threats and consequences of agroterrorist attacks.
