Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of thought leadership from governmental agencies, USDA representatives, and industry insiders that delves into the strategic importance of food planning within the defense readiness of the United States. The content captures the insights gleaned from exercises such as the 1956 Operation Alert and the winter test exercise performed in the same year. Through these exercises, this book details the evolution of thought on allocating and distributing emergency food supplies in the event of an attack on the nation. It highlights the difficulties in organizing a wartime food system, like balancing civilian and military needs or accounting for fallout contamination, when faced with the sudden and extreme circumstances of a nuclear attack. The authors conclude that the most effective emergency food plans will require the cooperation of government agencies, industry, and the public. The book provides a valuable perspective on the importance of food security and the challenges of maintaining it in the face of modern threats.
