About this report
Europe’s food security is no longer only an agricultural policy question. It is a resilience issue shaped by fertilisers, gas, seeds, crop protection, machinery, water, logistics, cold chains, fisheries, digital systems and imported inputs.
Recent crises have shown that food availability can remain broadly intact while the system beneath it becomes more fragile: farmers face volatile input costs, fertiliser producers depend on energy and raw materials, supply chains rely on ports and transport corridors, and climate stress is increasing pressure on land, water and yields.
Key questions this report answers
- Why is Europe's food security a resilience issue spanning fertilisers, gas, seeds, crop protection, machinery, water, logistics, cold chains, fisheries and digital systems?
- How does the input-dependency layer make the system beneath food availability more fragile?
- How do technology, infrastructure and climate resilience shape food-security risk?
- What is the DFM interpretation of food security as strategic autonomy?
