flag Sweden creates new national food stockpile in northern regions to ensure 3-month grain supply amid security threats.

flag Sweden is establishing its first national food stockpile since the Cold War, allocating £45 million to store emergency grain in northern regions vulnerable to supply disruptions. flag The move, part of a broader "total defence" strategy, aims to ensure food security if global supply chains are cut during a crisis, particularly amid tensions with Russia and increased drone incursions into NATO airspace. flag The government prioritizes northern areas like Norrbotten and Vasterbotten, where food must travel over 1,000 miles from the south. flag The stockpile, managed by the Swedish Board of Agriculture, will support up to 95% of the population for three months with grain-based rations. flag The initiative reflects growing European concerns over security, with the EU considering a "drone wall" and urging citizens to prepare emergency supplies.
