Impacts and opportunities in fresh food production
2020Also available in:
The agrifood sector, has not been immune to the Coronavirus, whose string of effects has interrupted the normal operation of food chains. In the agrifood sector, unprecedented problems have led to unprecedented challenges. In Latin America and the Caribbean, food production has not stopped; the workers, although with difficulties, appear at their workplaces.

Due to their importance, the agrifood systems are an obligatory starting point of the long process of recovery and transformation that lies ahead. -
