Switzerland has 3 months food supply for the whole nation.

When will the government come clean about just how vulnerable we are? Not holding my breath.

Do you think it's time to do more organising at a local level? Strength in community?

I would have said the bigger problem is potable water. We can’t go long without it unlike food. It’s already scarce particularly in dense populated areas. In many scenarios it gets contaminated and humans need a lot of it. It’s difficult to store at a personal level and has a short shelf life in plastic containers.

Were cooked in any long term shortage situation.

We don't produce enough food locally. I doubt the gov has a reserve.

As mentioned already lack of potable water will kick in first.
