Israel has a new strategic system for monitoring risks in food imports, the Agriculture and Raw Food Security Ministry said Sunday. The new system is part of the National Food Security Plan 2050, which identifies global risks that could disrupt the food supply. It is especially important given the increasing international boycotts, which may affect supply routes from abroad, the ministry said.

The new system is also designed to mitigate against the effects of wars, pandemics, extreme climate events, and trade-policy changes, all which may undermine the country’s ability to guarantee a steady food supply, it said. The system was based on a model developed at the Institute for National Security Studies think tank in Tel Aviv.

The new system identifies regional and global threats early and assesses their impact on imports and local production, while formulating alternatives and real-time policies, the ministry said. The first stage is early detection of risks, including identification of “weak signals” and emerging events in the global arena that may affect Israel’s food supply.

The second stage is an impact assessment that analyzes the identified risks and examines their potential effect on imports to Israel and local production. Finally, government policy recommendations will be formulated to allow rapid, data-based responses well before a crisis reaches store shelves. (Ed note: I'm not sure about the 'climate chance' events, but the other coming events are very real and must be dealt with.) (Read More)
