I think I managed to persuade some MPs that we've been missing the bigger picture, in this presentation to Parliament. But it doesn't seem to have filtered through to government. It feels intensely frustrating, seeing something that ministers can't and won't. www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

Instead, not only does the government individuate responsibility for a systemic problem, but successive governments have also privatised the response. They've relied on supermarket warehousing to fill any gaps. But the supermarkets don't do that any more. They've switched from stocks to flows.

In fact the entire food system has moved from warehousing towards logistics, creating a global just-in-time model that helps destabilise the system and will greatly accelerate any collapse. All the more reason for government intervention. But neoliberalism has made intervention taboo.
