Resilience Reconsidered: The Need for Modeling Resilience in Food Distribution and Trade Relations in Post Nuclear War Recovery
This paper reviews the literature on nuclear war, famine, and trade to highlight the importance of food distribution networks in post-nuclear scenarios. It argues that nuclear war modeling should prioritize medium-sized exchanges, incorporate lessons from past famines, and employ complex systems models for a comprehensive understanding of trade dynamics post-catastrophe. The authors recommend further research into trade networks, resilient foods, and governance systems to prepare for this unprecedented challenge.
