Rationale

national_food_reserve_weeks 0. food_supply_concentration_risk 0.71. Single facility processing 40% of national beef supply is not a labour problem — it is a strategic infrastructure problem. The reserve decouples short-term supply disruption from food access while the concentration risk is addressed through processing sector reform.

Epoch: 106

Domain: food_security

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $1.20B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): -$65.20B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)
