If necessary for years.
Defence Nutrition Australia is built upon a clear strategic intent: Australian made products backed by local and secure supply lines.
From science, research, manufacturing, nutrition and agriculture, we believe that Australia has the best food industry in the world and we are leveraging this inherited potential for the purpose of supply to the unique requirements of service and disaster use. With dual use capability for export and civilian use bringing increased production capability, strategic contingencies and continuity, our local and secure supply chains represent a necessary step in food security.
If necessary, alone.
Being able to bring Australian food supply into production and forward to our service personnel when they need it is as an important factor in National Defence as lethal force design, structure, posture and warfighting capability.
Current ASIO advice sees zero warning time for offensive cyber threats that could cut global shipping. Such cyber blackout, including domestic sabotage, would prelude kinetic offensive actions where Australia would be cut from the global food supply with little reserves.
Food has always been a weapon of war used against populations, with an Australian food supply, a nation fed is a fighting nation.
