Risk mitigation and management remain especially important for the food and agriculture sectors that continue to draw negative attention from political activists and protestors across North America. Successful risk control encompasses so much more than a physical security presence. A top-down approach to safety, security, access control, and social listening can help corporations of all sizes address their duty of care obligations in an ever-changing landscape.
Agroterrorism and agro-activism have grown to be a very real security risk for the entire food sector, challenging supply chains and food security, and creating dangerous situations for workforces and senior leaders. Dairy farmers and meat processing facilities play an important role in feeding entire communities. AFIMAC has worked closely alongside the agriculture sector for decades, helping companies of all shapes and sizes mitigate risk and protect what matters most. Address security risks head-on with a suite of risk mitigation strategies offered by AFIMAC.
Meatpacking and production facilities, farms, and related agribusinesses in beef, pork, and dairy continually draw the attention of anti-meat activists. Sabotage against your business exists in many forms, both internal and external. Some activists may look to push their narrative through more violent and dangerous efforts, putting your workforce at risk. Should one of these activists engage in criminal behavior after trespassing onto your job site, the end result could be catastrophic.
Some of the top security risks facing farms, food, and agriculture industries include arson, sabotage of machinery, criminal mischief, and vandalism. Some activists could also release animals from captivity, damage livestock, or reveal trade secrets online to shame your business. They may even attempt to gain employment in your business simply to disrupt your operations. The risks continue to evolve, and protests and picket lines can be organized in a matter of hours through social media.
Business owners in the agriculture industry should look to take risk mitigation seriously in 2023, as many activists have begun to target organizations with a limited security presence. Simple rural farms and meat packing facilities that once faced very few security risks are now being targeted in much more malicious acts of sabotage. Serious risk mitigation efforts begin with a full consultation and audit that identifies threats against your business. Implementation of access control systems can secure the perimeter of your business and monitor the actions of workers and protestors, while physical security presences supplement your needs.
Travel arrangements, accommodations, and appearances at trade shows can come with complex security risks that are traditionally addressed alongside a qualified security company. When political activists target senior leaders, threats against their homes and family members can become very real.
AFIMAC maintains unique social listening tools that can pinpoint security risks well before they happen. The nature of anti-meat activism is online, with protests and criminal acts being organized on simple social media pages. Executives can remain in the know about the movements of political groups with the tools available from AFIMAC. When us security risks put executives and their loved ones in danger, you can be one step ahead before something terrible occurs.

Strike and picket line security for corporations and government organizations are necessary for anyone facing heated worker strikes or general protests. It can help ensure the safety of your workplace and the human resources that help support your business, along with ensuring your safety. The risks facing corporations across North America include so much more than natural disasters and pandemics.
Explore a long list of offerings from the global leaders in strike security and executive protection. AFIMAC has worked closely alongside a number of North American government agencies experiencing political demonstrations in the workplace and public places. Ensure that all demonstrators protest peacefully while managing the risk to both people and property.
Political activism has become increasingly common, with several groups banding together to protest against the state of the government, rising costs of living, and vaccine mandates. In Europe, the general public has taken to demonstrations in major cities and small rural towns to protest the rising costs of living and an emerging housing crisis that is hitting both renters and homeowners. North America is expected to follow suit in 2023 as everyday citizens turn to the government to address these issues.
In other instances, political activism has pushed the boundaries of what is deemed to be “peaceful” protests, with certain groups focusing their efforts on medical facilities, highways, and public spaces. Preparations for heated protests require careful planning alongside a qualified security company that can spot risks, dispatch resources, and predict the movements of demonstrations before they happen. Failure to plan for and address political protests can create significant risks to the general public.
Union sentiment continues to grow among workforces that are feeling the pinch from rising costs of living, including food and rent. Many workers simply have no option other than to request more from their employer in terms of wages and benefits. When the costs of living in 2023 continue to soar above worker wages, many employers should be bracing for a strike, unionization, or labor shortages.
AFIMAC is unique in that it can address both the security concerns of a worker strike and contingent workforces. Picketing workforces create security risks that could cause harm to your executive leaders, skeleton workforces, and the general public. Difficult strikes can sometimes lead to extensive property damage to your workplace. AFIMAC can provide protective drivers for crossing the picket line, along with a number of surveillance resources. Strikes often call for ongoing surveillance techniques that can hold striking workers accountable, as the temptation to act out can be high when tempers flare. All our resources can be dispatched across North America on incredibly short notice, helping you to address potential or ongoing labor unrest quickly.
Social listening tools can help address the risks of labor strikes and protests. When predictive social listening tools spot threats before they happen, corporations and government agencies can save precious hours and use this time to prepare appropriately.
During a labor strike, the onus remains on the employer to provide a safe workplace for all staff, regardless of whether they are on strike. Social listening tools can sift through thousands of social posts and determine if there is a growing risk of a strike or unionization, helping the employer prepare their workplace. Often a strike means a full shutdown of business operations. However, with AFIMAC, many employers can leverage our security resources and contingent workforces to maintain operations while senior leaders negotiate with union representatives.
AFIMAC actively works to help Fortune 500 companies address their duty of care obligations to their workforces while navigating the complexities of strikes, protests, and work stoppages. Social listening tools adhere to all North American privacy laws and place the right information in the hands of senior leaders that can help them plan and address strikes before they cause harm to others.
Should a striking worker or member of the public become injured due to a strike, the employer could be held liable for failing to address these risks appropriately. AFIMAC can carefully document the events during a strike.
Contact AFIMAC today to learn more about the options available to employers who require security resources, contingent workforces, and strike security teams that can help you plan for difficult labor turmoil.

Intelligence gathering plays a critical role in the reputation management of executives and politicians facing online slander and defamation. The digital world can be cut-throat, and social media affords the opportunity for bad actors to defame prominent executives and senior leaders behind the anonymity of the internet. While some instances of digital harassment are better left ignored, ongoing targeted slander campaigns can shape public opinion, hurt your reputation, and turn entire workforces against you. Intel gathering is a critical part of addressing online defamation, protecting the reputation of senior leaders, and bringing an end to digital slander.
AFIMAC prides itself on its incredible social listening tools that can help identify the sources of digital slander and collect intelligence on behalf of an organization. Many of the intelligence-gathering tools used by AFIMAC are completely discreet, inspired by the long-standing workplace investigative tools used in corporate investigations. When executives and politicians need to get to the bottom of recent acts of slander or digital harassment, AFIMAC is your partner in bringing these issues to a swift and efficient end.
Politicians seeking reelection or corporations in the midst of becoming publicly traded are especially vulnerable to digital slander and defamation. When bad actors take to social media, false narratives can be planted in an online community and investor groups to influence public opinion. When these campaigns are left unchecked, they can sway the results of an election or even harm a company’s stock price. Both money and reputation are at stake when online slander gets out of control.
When bad actors hide behind anonymous social accounts to plant narratives that are simply untrue, their efforts are likely to paint a specific individual or company in a negative light. With AFIMAC’s social listening tools, our specialists can gather information, identify the source of such slander, and help your corporation build a legal case with the fair and unbiased gathering of evidence. Identify the individuals hurting your business or political campaign and hold them accountable with tools that tap into online conversations and pinpoint their root causes.
When mass layoffs are a necessary part of business in 2023, the threats against your workplace are often detailed online on public social platforms. Disgruntled workers often have a tendency to voice their frustrations online, sometimes slandering managers, executives, and the brand itself. AFIMAC can work quickly to gather intelligence and inform senior leaders if there are any risks facing workers and your job site.
Threats of violence against a corporation are often discussed online. At times, recently laid-off workers may choose to return to the workplace to indulge in violence or even target the homes of specific managers. Social listening and intelligence-gathering tools from AFIMAC can quickly inform stakeholders when there is a serious threat. Active shooter scenarios, threats against executives’ homes, and planned picketing can be predicted, helping organizations save precious moments to protect people and property.
Intelligence gathering from AFIMAC can also take a temperature read of the sentiment of your workforce. Companies that employ large, unionized workforces often take to social media to vent their frustrations, airing out their dirty laundry on public platforms. AFIMAC can take a close listen to these conversations being had by your workforce and provide a snapshot of what is being discussed online.
Take a close look at how your staff truly feel about their place of employment with the social listening tools from AFIMAC. Many executives will be surprised at what they hear online and can determine for themselves whether staff are pleased with their employment status. AFIMAC adheres to all North American privacy laws while pinpointing obvious warning signs of labor stoppages or potential unionizations. Such information is imperative to senior leaders, helping them plan for upcoming worker strikes.
A proper workplace investigation includes careful documentation, video-recorded interviews, and a full collection of evidence that can be found on public social platforms. Such evidence can help support a corporation’s decision to let specific staff go and avoid the complexities that come from wrongful termination.
