Online Event: Global Food Supply Chains: An Early Assessment of Covid-19 Impacts

Covid-19 caused a multitude of food systems-wide shocks, including disruptions to global food supply chains. This news makes headlines, but what is the true extent of these disruptions? Are these disruptions to blame for rising rates of food insecurity in the Covid-19 pandemic? And what can we expect if Covid-19 cases surge once more?

We hope you will join us for an online discussion on Friday, October 2, from 9:00-10:15 a.m. EDT about “Global Food Supply Chains: An Early Assessment of Covid-19 Impacts,” where we’ll answer these questions and highlight key take-aways from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s 2020 State of Agricultural Commodities report.

This event is made possible in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Liaison Office for North America.---------------------------------------------------------------------
