Steady supply
Discover technology’ s vital role in enhancing the UK’ s food security
Over the past year, food security in the UK has come under increasing scrutiny. Amid ongoing global disruptions, there’ s growing concern about the resilience of the country’ s food systems and the need for reinforcement to maintain a steady supply. Calls for stronger“ civil food resilience” have brought attention to how current production and distribution frameworks operate— and how they must evolve to meet the demands of an unpredictable world.
While boosting agricultural output through improved farming methods is one part of the solution, the efficiency of the supply chain is equally critical. Reliable sourcing, smooth delivery and minimizing waste have never been more important. Every item lost to spoilage or logistical error is one less item on the shelves. Governments and retailers are both facing growing pressure to demonstrate that they can deliver food safely, swiftly and at scale.
