Find food in nature, urges the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) to Swedes in this autumn's new crisis preparedness brochure, reports SVT. In it, the agency has introduced the advice to take advantage of food found in nature, such as berries, apples, and mushrooms, in the event of war or crisis.

Sweden is today dependent on food imports, and according to Anna Teljfors at MSB, disruptions to food deliveries would quickly have consequences.

We import most of what we eat in Sweden, and it's something you should keep track of. If there were disruptions or difficulties with deliveries, it would be noticeable in stores within a few days, she says to SVT.

She emphasizes the importance of taking personal responsibility in crisis preparedness.

That you have extra food and water at home and think ahead, what would it mean for me if I couldn't buy food? If water didn't come out of the tap and my mobile didn't work? Do I need help, or can I help a neighbor? Community and preparedness go hand in hand.
