How the Security of Food Supply is Set to Increase

The security of food supply is to be increased through an amendment to the so-called Food Management Act (LMBG), which has been sent for review. According to the ministry, this will make it possible to establish a stockpile by regulation in the future. The law also provides for early information measures for the population and the economy in times of crisis.

State Reserve to Increase Food Supply Security

There has been no legal basis for the creation of a state reserve by regulation, such as a grain reserve for times of crisis, according to the ministry. This is now to be established. "We must not wait until a crisis has occurred, but must prepare proactively," Totschnig is quoted as saying. The amendment to the law implements insights from recent crises, such as blackout events in other countries or disruptions in the supply chain due to international conflicts.
