One in three Swedes is worried about food shortages in the future, according to a SIFO survey commissioned by Skånemejerier. More than half do not believe that the country’s food production can feed the entire population.

In the survey, conducted in June this year among 1008 randomly selected Swedes aged 18-84, 52% say they have little knowledge of food production in Sweden. Among Swedes aged 18-29, the figure is 60%.

At the same time, 34% are worried about possible food shortages in the future and 50% believe that Swedish food production is not enough to feed the entire population.

– It is of course regrettable that confidence in Sweden’s food supply is low. Especially in times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to recognize its importance for our country’s preparedness and its potential to contribute to the green transition, said Cecilia von Perglas, CEO of Skånemejerier in a press release.
