Systemic risk management and resilience planning for Austrian food security
Abstract
Analogous information processing in combination with the expertise of individuals is often sufficient at the user level to solve locally isolated problems. However, major crises such as COVID-19 have shown the limits of analogue and past-related crisis management. This problem applies in particular to the basic food supply, which consists of complex, fast-moving and interdependent value chains (from primary production to processing companies to the consumer). It is therefore crucial to be able to proactively assess and analyze the systemic risks of crisis scenarios in real time, as these can directly threaten the food supply of the population. Supplying the population with food is one of the most important value-added networks for which - at the request of the BMLRT and AMA users - comprehensive digital systemic risk monitoring should be implemented in real time. In order to be able to monitor systemic risk in real time, a digital crisis monitor is being created in the SYRI project for the first time at national level for five product groups defined by the users. Based on the development of a generic data model, this digital crisis monitor allows the dynamic calculation of systemic risk indicators at the stakeholder level due to the first-time digital recording of the food value-added networks, including the interweaving of consumer and company data. The food value-added networks, including risk assessment, are made available to consumers in real time on an interactive and user-friendly interface (= the digital crisis monitor). SYRI primarily aims to gain new knowledge and skills (= industrial research) with the aim of applying the developed procedure for the selected product groups for the first time in order to check a possible suitability. Should the successful proof of application in this highly specific area - basic supply of food - succeed in the SYRI project, the developed logic should be applied to other product groups defined as critical in a next step.
