Executive summary: ALLFED provides an update on their research, policy, and technology development work related to increasing resilience against catastrophic global food system shocks like nuclear winter. They request funding for specific projects to expand their research and implementation efforts.
Key points:
Research is focused on modeling responses to nuclear winter crop loss, infrastructure collapse scenarios, and combination catastrophes. Funding sought for infrastructure resilience and target region planning.
Policy work involves translating research into national preparedness plans. Funding would expand engagements in the US, Australia, Argentina and other regions.
Technology involves developing open source solutions to food production bottlenecks. Funding sought for extruders, rope twisters, small scale plants.
Overall goal is to increase global resilience against catastrophic crop loss from nuclear war, pandemic infrastructure collapse, or other global shocks.
Funding needs estimated at $300k-$500k for research, $10k-$100k for policy, and $160k-$250k for technology pilots.
Volunteers also sought, including for ALLFED’s board.
