Exercise to strengthen Nordic cooperation on food preparedness

- During a crisis or war, Sweden may need help from its neighbours in order to ensure food supplies.
- This week, around 50 people from the Nordic countries, the Faroe Islands and the Åland Islands took part in a workshop on food preparedness.
- Sweden might for example need to make use of Norwegian ports to transport food up north in a crisis, says Johan Loberg at the Swedish Board of Agriculture.
