Norway seeks to strengthen food security through emergency stockpiles
MPs Geir Pollestad, Siv Sætran, and Ole Herman Sveian have tabled a proposal to bolster Norway's food preparedness. They argue that Norway faces an increasingly challenging security landscape due to geopolitical tensions, pandemies, and climate change, and that domestic food production depends on access to inputs like seed grain and seed potatoes. They call on the government to establish national emergency storage systems and expand grain storage schemes.
