Researchers Warn Netherlands Needs Eight-Day Food Supply Instead of Three

NOS18 September · 17:045 days ago

Researchers from the Clingendael Institute and Erasmus University advise that Dutch households should maintain an eight-day food supply rather than the current three-day recommendation due to vulnerabilities in efficient supermarket logistics. They warn that cyberattacks or severe weather could cause empty shelves within days, urging supermarkets to hold dynamic emergency buffers. Staatssecretaris Erkens plans to discuss these measures with retailers to address potential acute shortages and price spikes.
