Fixing the global food system after coronavirus (The Hill) 

May 04, 2020


The Hill (USA) published an op-ed by Senior Research Fellow Ruben Eccheverria. He writes, “from panic-buying in Europe to bans on rice exports in Asia and rising food prices in Africa, the fragility of our global food system has been exposed by the coronavirus pandemic. …Yet, out of the urgency and necessity created by the shock of COVID-19, we have also seen how rapidly innovative measures can be deployed to minimize the impact of the virus on food security.”
