Paris Faces Potential Food Shortage in Emergency Situations

A new report reveals that the French capital could exhaust its food and water supplies within a week if cut off from external sources.

The study by Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme indicates Paris can sustain its population for only 5 to 7 days in a crisis.
To address this vulnerability, the city plans to increase food storage capacity and explore additional supply routes.
Current food reserves are mainly stored in households, shops, and logistics warehouses, with limited capacity.
95% of Paris's food arrives by truck, prompting recommendations to diversify transport methods using rivers and railways.
City officials aim to extend food self-sufficiency to 100 days by creating new storage facilities and a second wholesale market.
