Abstract :
[en] In our contemporary societies, the food chain could be defined as a macro-technical system, which depends on a wide variety of actors and risk analysis methods. In this contribution, risks related to the food chain are defined in terms of "modern risks" (Beck, 1992). The whole national economic sector of food production/distribution is vulnerable to a local accident, which can affect the functioning of the food chain, the export programs and even the political system. Such a complex socio-technical environment is undoubtedly vulnerable to intentional act such as terrorism.
