Sufficient food can no longer be grown and supply chains are interrupted. There is a risk of supply shortages and consequently hunger. Emeritus Research Fellow Shenggen Fan writes in his blog post, Preventing global food security crisis under COVID-19 emergency, “The consequences of the measures imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbate the difficult food situation and act as an accelerator of the crisis.” Republished on PressPortal.de (Germany), FinanzNachtrichten, Internet Intelligenz, Blickpunkt Deutschland.
