Cyberattacks on the food and agriculture sector have escalated by 62% in 2026 and are increasingly disrupting supply chains, causing operational shutdowns and potential public health crises by compromising food safety and traceability systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Food producers must secure operational data as well as physical processes because cyberattacks now directly block trusted food safety verification, risking recalls and lost contracts. You need to make cybersecurity a shipping requirement this week or face product disposal and broken supply chain trust.
