Meeting Details :

Developing nations have historically struggled with food insecurity, malnutirtion, and other issues.  Then COVID-19 surfaced and dealt a severe blow to food supplies, distribution systems, and incomes in these countries.  What is the COVID situation and response in low-income areas, and what must be done to strengthen their food systems for the future?

In this Fireside Chat we'll talk to two experts with firsthand knowledge from the front lines of the COVID crisis. Kindra Halvorson's company, TechnoServe, manages many food-related projects throughout Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Taylor Quinn is building local food systems with his own company, Tailored Foods, as well as with the JUST company's Emerging Markets team.
