Roundtable: The pandemic and implications for the world food supply

As the pandemic drags on, food production, supply chains and consumer income have been disrupted, and hunger is rising in many regions. This roundtable will discuss the effects so far and look into what might happen during this pandemic or future ones, especially if events are compounded by climate-related factors including floods, heat waves or droughts, as well as transport bottlenecks or trade wars. It will also look at ways to mitigate resulting potential famines.
