Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) presents the Trade Winds virtual event with Anabel Gonzalez, Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber, and Research Fellow Emeritus Sherman Robinson. The virtual event discusses the pandemic and its containment measures placed unprecedented stress on agriculture trade and raised the specter of a global food crisis. After the initial fears, how has COVID-19 affected the food system? Have food supply chains shown resilience? How can an open and predictable trade system support food security? Will massive support programs put in place to address the economic dimensions of the pandemic distort agricultural markets and what to do about them?
