In the past, it's been easy to ignore the gaps in our globalized food system. If we ran out of something, we could just import it from somewhere else.

In this episode we discuss a few of the main issues farmers are facing, particularly with produce. Problems with redistribution, proper crop care, and workers' rights are all rising to the surface. Hopefully, this episode helps explain why your grocery store's shelves are empty and how COVID has changed our food system forever.Instagram : @souspielpodcastSources:https://www.npr.org/2020/04/10/831656052/some-infection-rates-drop-but-u-s-hasnt-peaked-yethttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/09/coronavirus-could-double-number-of-people-going-hungryhttps://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-during-emergencies/food-safety-and-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/11/us/farmworkers-coronavirus/index.htmlhttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-effects-of-covid-19-will-ripple-through-food-syhttps://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2020/04/23/483488/protecting-farmworkers-coronavirus-securing-food-supply/
