From Europe to Asia and across the Americas, farmers and others in the global food supply chain are innovating to keep the world fed, according to a piece by Reuters.
Didier Lenoble has gone online to sell vegetables grown on his farm near Paris as the usual street stalls he supplies are temporarily shut because of the coronavirus crisis.
“It’s a whole new business,” said Lenoble, whose family-run farm has been selling to customers via a new website.
Elsewhere, an Indian farming cooperative is delivering direct to city dwellers as a lockdown closed its usual distribution channels and a Mexican supplier to U.S. berry giant Driscoll’s has hired furloughed factory workers to pick produce.
