“…Considering that the UK food system functions on a just‐in‐time basis, the availability of fresh produce to the consumer could diminish in only a few days in response to a quite localised event many hundreds or thousands of miles from the UK. A good example of this was the eruption of an Icelandic volcano in 2010, which limited the supply of Kenyan fruit to the UK for several weeks (Justus, 2015 ).…”

An evolving green agenda as the UK seeks to achieve 'net zero' in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, coupled with our new trading relationship with the European Union, is resulting in new government policies, which will be disruptive to Britain's traditional food and farming practices. These policies encourage sustainable farming and land-sparing to restore natural habitats and will provide an opportunity to address issues such as high emissions of GHGs and dwindling biodiversity resulting from many intensive agricultural practices. To address these

“…At the time, Kenyan horticulture was still recovering from previous impacts from domestic post-election violence in 2008/2009 (Justus 2015). These disruptive events resulted in the call for Kenya's flower and vegetable industry to reduce over-dependency on foreign global markets and diversify into local and regional alternative market outlets to provide a shortterm market shock cushion (Justus 2015;Leipold and Morgante 2013). Once some airports reopened tons of produce was flown to Spain and put on trucks to Northern Europe (Gettlemen 2010).…”

Compounding Impacts of Lifeline Infrastructure Failure During Natural Hazard Events

Critical infrastructures, such as transportation systems, communication networks, power and water utilities, have become so integrated into our modern and globalised world that they are commonly taken for granted. That is, until their services are disrupted. The failure of these lifeline services during natural hazard events has the potential to impact populations by exacerbating the hazard itself and/or hindering their ability to respond to or recover from the event. The failure of lifeline infrastructure can also propagate outside the reach of the hazard footprint, causing disruption in regions not directly impacted by the event. Understanding the potential flow-on effects from lifeline failure during natural hazard events is vital for future disaster mitigation, response and recovery. The 2009 South-Eastern Australia heatwave and the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption in Iceland are drawn on to highlight and discuss the vulnerability of lifelines to disruption from natural hazard shocks and the compounding impacts of lifeline failure during natural hazard events.
