“Food Supply Chains and Safety: Impact of Covid-19 and Aftermath”
24th June 2020, 17:00-18:00
In this webinar, Dr. Rachel Reckinger, Jack A. Bobo (CEO of Futurity) and Georges Eischen (CEO of La Provençale) discussed the impact of Covid-19 on food supply chains and safety.
Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit us, we worried about the sourcing and safety of the food we buy and consume – then, from the very beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, everyone was affected by disruptions in food and grocery supply chains worldwide, on the most basic level: mass shortages of food stocks in retail outlets due to production shutdowns and mangled quality and sourcing along supply chains.
Some questions that were tackled in this webinar are: What is the situation now and how can we optimize food supply chains and safety for a better future? How can we best prepare for a possible second wave of the coronavirus, or another major disaster?
