\ud83c\udf0d<\/strong> How do global shocks impact food and nutrition in Lower Saxony?<\/strong> \ud83c\udf7d<\/strong>\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>

From climate disruptions and animal disease outbreaks, pandemics to geopolitical conflicts, shocks ripple through global food systems\u2014impacting supply chains, trade flows, and local food security. Given Lower Saxony\u2019s deep integration into the global food network, our research explores how such disruptions shape market dynamics and our local food system.<\/p>

\ud83d\udcca What factors predict the resilience of our supply chains?<\/strong> Take, for example, Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/strong>, which led to a sharp drop in imports from the affected countries.<\/strong> We find that import diversification plays a crucial role in moderating the effect of such shocks. Firms with a more diverse set of suppliers experience less volatility in the face of unforeseen shocks. While specialization<\/strong> can lead to efficiency gains, we shouldn\u2019t overlook the vulnerabilities that come with overly concentrated supply chains<\/strong> . \ud83c\udf0d When disruptions hit highly specialized supply networks can struggle to adapt. As uncertainties grow (e.g., Trump 2.0), understanding how to strike the right balance between efficiency and adaptability<\/strong> is more critical than ever.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\ud83d\udd0d But resilience isn\u2019t just about absorbing shocks\u2014it\u2019s also about how quickly systems recover and adapt.<\/strong>We are also examining the role of innovations in the food industry<\/strong> and sustainability standards<\/strong> \u2014from environmental regulations to animal welfare policies\u2014in shaping sourcing strategies and consumer behavior. Understanding these pathways is key to building a more secure and sustainable food future<\/strong> for our region<\/p>
