ENG: Modern food supply chains can appear stable on the surface, with full supermarket shelves and stocked warehouses, yet they are becoming increasingly fragile because they depend heavily on digital systems. Food now moves through databases, automated approval platforms, and digital authorisation tools. When these systems cannot verify a shipment, food may not be released, insured, sold, or legally distributed, even when it is physically available. In this way, food that cannot be “seen” by digital systems can effectively become unusable, exposing a major weakness in how modern food systems operate.
