My talk will:
* Summarise what shocks face the food system – some well-known, some less so.
* Outline official positions on resilience, and ask whether it’s being delivered for food.
* Show that, despite being a Critical National Infrastructure, food lacks full attention.
* Explore the gaps between what’s being done and what could be done.
* Propose we need a systemic approach to how to feed people in crises.
* Stress public engagement is a key to national resilience planning, as is social cohesion.
* Argue the resilience agenda gives urgency to current debates about food and farming.
* Ask what you can contribute to civil food resilience.
