Covid-19 has brought to light the inherent challenges in our global food and agriculture systems. When the pandemic started in the US, food stockpiling paired with restaurant, school and office closures, disrupted supply chains and resulted in an overwhelming shock for industrial farming and meat operations. Inhumane and inexcusable working conditions were exposed in some farms and meatpacking plants, while the financial plight of many small-scale farmers has been worsened.
