The system’s competitiveness

Work package 4

Work package 4 analyses how crises, trade, and policy affect the competitiveness and resilience of the Swedish food system. What are the costs of strengthening preparedness, and what are the costs of failing to do so?

The research examines:

• How imports, production costs, and prices are impacted by different types of crises.
  
• The economic consequences of measures aimed at increasing resilience.
  
• How policies designed to enhance preparedness affect raw material prices and food availability.
  
• The impact on the competitiveness of Swedish food sector actors.
  

The work package develops policy recommendations on which measures deliver the greatest resilience at the lowest cost, contributing to a stronger and more sustainable food system.
