The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Environment: Should We Stockpile Food To Prepare For National Emergencies? · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

Germany, uh, Switzerland, the Nordic countries, and so on.

So this is not that unusual.

And again, they're they're they they're connected by road and rail to their neighbours.

We're not.

So what we would do is we would either build or sequester large

Sort of data centre style buildings, right?

Now, one of my suggestions was that let's say in the case of Dublin, I suggest we should build one out and co-locate it with the Curra military camp in Kildare.

So it could be protected by the Army.

Precisely.

If you've got, you know, tens of thousands of tons of food and there's a breakdown in civil order, you need that food somewhere under lock and key.

So and also, of course, the army have the logistical means to get that food to where it needs to go.

What type of food?

Well mostly we're talking well, obviously we're talking non perishable.

Yeah, because I mean

really good idea.

For example, a lot of people would have been a lot better off during Storm Aowen, where some people lost, for example, power and access to transport for up to two weeks.

So putting aside that for your own personal use is a really good idea.

It also takes pressure off the local supermarket.

But to do it on this large scale, we'd be looking at, for example, all the obvious things uh rice, uh lentils, uh, as you said, chickpeas, you'd also be looking at

Flour, are you be looking at grains?
