Emergency nutritional care; information

Please note in particular our information under:

  • Brief description

    Ensuring an adequate supply of food for the population is a priority task of the state's food security policy. This is divided into food security and food provision.

  • Description

    Food security

    In the unlikely, but nevertheless never completely unthinkable, event of a supply crisis, i.e. if a significant proportion of people living in Germany no longer have access to food via the free market, the population would have to be supplied by the state. The state could then introduce the public management of food and issue regulations on the production, procurement or allocation of food. The legal basis for this is the Food Security and Provision Act, which is applicable both to supply crises in the event of defense and to supply crises caused by civil disasters.

    Nutritional care

    The federal and state governments are obliged to take organizational, personnel and material precautions in order to be able to initiate the necessary measures in the event of a supply crisis. This includes joint crisis management between the federal and state governments. It is also the responsibility of the state to inform the population about self-protection options, such as private stockpiling.

    In Bavaria, the following authorities are responsible for emergency food provision:

    • the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry (StMELF),
    • seven district governments and
    • the Offices for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (ÄELF) at the level of the district administrations and independent cities.

    In principle, every citizen should have a certain amount of food in their home. This can be made up as follows:

    • Fresh products (fruit, vegetables, dairy products)
    • Dry provisions and canned goods (coffee, tea, sugar, honey, jam, mustard, vinegar, salt, spices, canned vegetables and fruit)
    • Ready meals (soups, pasta dishes)
    • Frozen goods (meat, poultry, fish, bread, etc.)
    • Drinks (mineral water, fruit juice, etc.)

    Matches, a lighter, candles and an alcohol or gas stove can also be useful if the power fails. There should also be a water canister in the household that can be filled with water if necessary.
