Global | 出版物 | 十月 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on society and the global economy. It has created a new awakening among consumers about the importance of food security, food safety and ensuring proper commodity and food supply chains are in place which utilize safe, locally-sourced commodities and foods.
