"The aim is to have some 82,500 tons of grain in storage by the end of the decade "so that we then have enough grain for three months’ consumption by #Norway’s population in a crisis situation that may arise,” Pollestad told Norwegian broadcaster NRK."
to be fair it seems like a good move considering Norway is a physically large country with many remote areas, already experiences extreme weather, and is surrounded by thousands of km of coast on one side and they have already had stockpiles of grain from the 20th to early 21st centuries. Not sure if I view this as "doomsday", but an acknowledgement that 40+ years of relatively stable/good economic and social times have come to an end..
Yes, sounds to me like an acknowledgement that supply lines are not as robust as they used to be, so it's time to move away from the "just in time" model.
I mean, why not remove some brittleness in the way your country is set up.
