Geopolitical uncertainty and climate change are increasing the need for food preparedness and more robust value chains. Whilst Norway has broad political support for greater self-sufficiency, it still depends on stable trade for goods and inputs it cannot produce. We discuss how to balance these needs and strengthen cooperation with the Nordic region and Europe.

Global food systems depend on fragile geographic chokepoints. Conflicts can therefore have far-reaching consequences for food security. In this event, Aleksander Jankov (director, Corporate security and preparedness Yara) and Audun Kolstad Wiig (Subject matter expert Geopolitical risk, DNB) explore how geopolitical risks affect critical bottlenecks in global food supply—and what this means for resilience and preparedness.
