Critical infrastructures in the areas of energy, water and food (EWF) require new resilience concepts in the face of increasing global challenges. This article examines how decentralised physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) can contribute to increasing the resilience of EWF systems by combining blockchain, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. The focus is on the Brandenburg region, where the Resilient Infrastructure Technology Suite (RITS) project serves as a practical example of decentralised infrastructure solutions. The results show that DePIN approaches reduce single points of failure and enable a faster, autonomous response to disruptions, thereby sustainably improving regional security of supply.
