Abstract

This chapter highlights general food security challenges through the lens of three disaster-related triggers contributing to supply chain disasters: public health crises, armed conflicts, and climate-related shifts. The chapter demonstrates how these triggers do not always exist independently, but rather coexist creating the conditions for multi-level disasters across multiple governance systems, before explaining existing regional and national legal responses to the supply chain disasters. It concludes with a discussion of the need to put safeguards in place to avoid commodity speculation and to locate more investment in locally appropriate contingency planning for food supplies.
