We know that Covid-19 has restricted movement globally and even with some countries opening borders, travel, and movement are not what they used to be. Agriculture, globally, has taken a massive hit due to these actions that served to protect public health.
We mentioned the last episode that there is an excess of produce at source due to the closure of massive hotels, restaurants, and other places of entertainment, in addition to the reduced opening hours of marketplaces and the lockdown of major populated areas. This, again, is highlighting a major deficiency in global food security frameworks.
In this episode, we want to explore some of the gaps in the local food security framework and how we can fill them to ensure we do not have a repeat of this after Covid-19.
