Abstract

This policy brief introduces how improved food preparedness can be achieved through methods that simultaneously reduce the negative impact of the food system on climate and the environment by focusing on actions that lead to a more resilient food system. By prioritizing increased resilience, both improved food preparedness and a development in line with a more sustainable food system can be achieved. We use examples from the Swedish food system, but the approach should be useful also for other food systems.
