This new guidance sets out sets a general framework of measures and preventive actions to be taken to improve food security and resilience, common to all Member States but also applicable to any country or even to a food manufacturing or hospitality businsess. It is written at a strategic level, laying out principles rather than detail. For example, it covers the need to diversify supply chains and the need to practice crisis managment.
It builds upon a previous report published by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in November 2023 which identified 28 risk categories (biophysical and environmental, economic and market, socio-cultural and demographic, geopolitical and institutional, supply chain performance, information and technology) and nine main factors of vulnerabilities.
