Critical Security and key resources is defined as the entirety of man-made and natural resources on which a country relies in for operating alongside with the approaches for their delivery, processing and delivery. Critical Security and key resources is relevant to homeland security efforts since through the availability of resources, a nation can be safeguarded against any attacks like terrorism and other future attacks. It ensures that the borders of the country are secured and manageable. This ensures that the citizens live in harmony with no fear of facing attacks from neighboring communities (Radvanovsky & McDougall, 2018). Critical security is also essential to homeland security because through it the civilian regime makes sure that the computer systems are safe and does its activities with the homeland security and the local and territorial administrations to safeguard the information systems and critical infrastructure. Information sharing is important on the food and agriculture sector since it helps enhance the development of sustainable agriculture as well as addressing food security. It provides farmers with beneficial and useful information like weather reports, farming techniques and crop prices hence know ways in which they can improve their farming activities. Information sharing correspondingly helps farmers exploit their potentials of farming by acquiring accurate, timely and vital information on sustainable practices such as diseases and pest control, soil testing, water management and post-harvest management methods. Through this, farmers get to ensure that their farming methods meet the required conditions. Finally, information sharing allows farmers to be aware of market prices, demands and supply. They can then be able to achieve better productivity and safe prices through precise weather forecast and price information. References Radvanovsky, R. S., & McDougall, A. (2018).
