Our Concept
Food & Agriculture Security
Food &
Agriculture Defense
Most refer to food & agriculture
security as insuring sufficiency in terms of adequate nutrition for at risk
populations. The Food & Agriculture
Organization (FAO) employs this term in defining its efforts to stave off
hunger in Africa.
Food
& Agriculture Defense goes beyond sufficiency, but includes it. Defense is the reduction of risks to the
food supply chain from the effects of natural disasters, accidental events or
attacks.
It
encompasses identifying what is critical, assessing vulnerabilities,
developing and deploying protective and mitigation strategies,
preparing response and recovery capabilities, facilitating recovery after
any event.
The key concepts behind food & Agriculture
defense are:
1. Risk reduction
2. Protective and mitigation measures
3. Response & recovery capabilities
4. Building into any food supply chain
systemic resilience so it can survive any such event
