Food preparedness is about the resilience of the entire value chain. In the new issue of Cerealier, published by the Lantmännen Research Foundation, newly launched research initiatives are highlighted, such as the PLENTY research center. The research explores how resources in the food system can be used in the best possible way, with a vision of creating a circular system that helps make Sweden less dependent on imported food.
– Awareness of crisis preparedness has increased significantly. In this issue, we focus on the preparedness of the food system and ongoing research activities in the field, says Helena Fredriksson, Head of the Lantmännen Research Foundation.
The magazine describes how researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, use drones to develop crops that can withstand drought and help safeguard harvests in a changing climate. At the same time, baking is being studied at Lund University to ensure quality and nutrition using new raw materials. The issue also highlights the PLATE project and offers tips on what to keep in a prepper kit.
