flag Swedes are stockpiling food amid war fears, following a national push to prepare for emergencies.

flag Swedes are stockpiling food amid growing fears of war in Europe, driven by ongoing tensions and Sweden’s revived "total defence" strategy. flag The government urges citizens to store enough food for at least seven days, recommending high-calorie, long-lasting items like dried meat, powdered milk, and freeze-dried meals. flag Many, including retirees and professionals, are preparing with camping stoves and supplies at rural homes, citing both practical and emotional reasons. flag A 2024 survey found 86% believe Sweden is worth defending and 76% would join civil defence, though worry levels rose to 39%—up from 24% in 2018. flag Challenges persist due to Sweden’s size and concentrated food production in the south, complicating supply chains during conflict.
