Farm advisory

Through cooperation with 10 Living Labs from across Europe, the project will develop and provide guidance on how to adapt to climate change, emerging shocks and contingency for assuring sustainability in the production and provision of food for food security

Contingency planning

In a contingency situation, the ability for swift action is a pre-condition for a successful limitation of the negative consequences a contingency situation is developing. However, “being prepared” for hazards that may occur is a pre-condition for swift action which, in turn, is a result of planning. Agriculture and the food system have to deal constantly with risks. They may create problems in food security, in biodiversity or the economic performance of the food system actors. For mitigating the effects of emerging hazards, contingency planning could identify suitable activities of actors with influence on the food system. This tool provides the basis for developing a contingency plan. It is flexible enough for allowing its use in a diversity of situations and provides links to suitable databases and AI sources for support.
